AFAIK, most serious banking fraud is committed by insiders and it is 
their inside knowlege of the financial systems and procedures, rather 
than the computer systems per se, that makes the difference.  Defacing a 
website is one thing, transferring money from one account to another 
successfully (let alone untraceably) is quite something else.
