I believe that Frank Abagnale has pretty much said it would probably get easier.
I think it was on the special features section of the Catch Me If You Can DVD, but I also found an interview with him saying essentially the same thing [0]
"What I did almost 50 years ago is now 4,000 times easier to do than when I did it. Technology breeds crime, always has and always will."
All of our technology encodes our own biases and weaknesses, and chances are, it's the area we are most blind too. And we tend to trust our technology as we grow dependent on it.
The genius of people like Frank Abagnale, or the people behind Stuxtnet as a different example is an ability to see these weak spots, and the blatant moxie it takes to exploit it.
It's kinda scary to think about the power people like that have, honestly.
