Thought just crossed my mind that anytime there's a website doing a cash give away, or contest (like McDonald's monopoly thing) or a gambling/casino website I'd think hackers/crackers would be able to get money like no tomorrow. Are they? Granted there aren't that many talented people out there that can and are willing to do that kind of thing but there's got to be at least ~1000 people in the US that must be cleaning up, but I never hear about anything like that. Is there something in place to keep them from doing stuff like that? I was under the impression just about anything could be hacked. Although I've heard about these new encryption programs that are insane, but still, not everything can be encrypted with CIA level tech.
