    No duh. Expert hackers who've been arrested have attested that it's also astonishingly easy to hack into the pentagon and NASA.

    I need to hire these guys to hack into my bank and add some digits there .. Just for the science ... the goal is not any financial gain . But will keep the extra digits as a proof of concept

    This helps validate Trump rigged the election or at least had the Russians do it for him
