Humans are harder to fool. But some bank apps allow you to deposit a check by photographing it. Such apps would be fairly easy to attack.
If you limit yourself to making 100$ checks become 1000$ checks and not 1,000,000$ checks, you might even get away with it.
- c22 9y agoA few years back a friend of mine was depositing a $300.00 check at Chase. When the teller asked him how she could help he said "Oh, just depositing this three thousand dollars." She punched in the deposit for $3000.00 and gave him a receipt. It was corrected within 24 hours but the receipt and printout of his bank statement was a great conversation piece. I doubt they would have let him just walk away with the money, nevermind multiple times.
- dontreact 9y agoYou have to type in a number. So if you are going to type in 1000, it would probably more likely be a successful attack if you actually forged the check so it looked like it said 1000, so again not seeing how an adversarial example is helpful here.
