careful, you can get lost in these stories they are kind of a train wreck. the worst one I've read about so far was (cw: torture) the attackers who tortured a guy for an hour with a heavy drill and made his four-year-old daughter watch

    Doesn't matter how good your password security is if there's a human who can be clobbered with a hammer repeatedly until they let you in.

    Banks provide a significant amount of personal security, you can't just clobber someone with a hammer to get access to millions of dollars in a few minutes. There's significantly more risk involved for the robber.

      My favorite hacker trick is when they call a secretary pretending to be the boss and just get told the password. Obviously doesn't always work but it's worth a shot at least.

        They will keep hitting your toes, feet and hands with that hammer until your memory comes back.

        Most people will break.
