Hackers steal money from the French president's credit card

30th October 2008

Bank account of the French president Nicolas Sarkozy was cracked by cyber criminals. As expected, detractors somehow got the username and the password to manage the account via the Internet and a few times withdrew small amounts of money from it. Sarkozy himself noticed the loss, and then he informed the police.
It seems that cyber criminals did not know whose account they cracked: the French president just became an ordinary victim of phishing. Trying to figure out how detractors managed to get confidential data, the police asked Sarkozy if there is a chance that keystrokes on his computer were fixed by key-loggers. He replied that it is quite possible. This only demonstrates that the French president, like many other Internet users, does not pay due attention to safety of work at the computer.
