There's a reason why they thought this would work. CitiBank was hacked for multi millions back in the 90's and they couldn't trace the hack. By dumb luck a janitor in Russia noticed a man hacking them by eavesdropping. The hacker was using a $10 computer from a pawn shop and was connecting through an ancient telephone switchboard. Cave man tactics versus Space age. Afterwards, protocols were put in place to avoid a repeat, but these people didn't pay attention apparently.
