Sounds like a problem with computers, not Bitcoin.

  Yes. I believe the same sophisticated attack could be used to target banking systems. It would just need a few more sophisticated services to be in place or more inside information. But why bitcoin is targeted? Because bitcoin is an open protocol, they could target it's root, mining rigs because that's where the value is generated. In banking systems, to generate money you need to have internal access and secure credits .

    Bitcoin is targeted because it's a digital asset, true digital cash. Banks don't have that. You can never really own your bank money in digital form, it always stays in the bank's computers.

      No I'm not talking about targeting banks directly. What about targeting consumers or ecomm sites? A consumer need to give card information, websites should make vpos operations. These can be target vectors too.
