With a computer :)
| quote: | 1990
When a Los Angeles area radio station announced a contest that awarded a Porsche 944S2 for the 102nd caller, Kevin Poulsen took control of the entire city's telephone network, ensured he is the 102nd caller, and took away the Porsche beauty. He was arrested later that year and sentenced to three years in prison. He is currently a senior editor at Wired News.
When Poulsen was featured on Unsolved Mysteries, a reality crime-solving show, the program's 800 number went dead as Poulsen's picture came on the screen. |

| I once downloaded a "CAM" torrent for a movie that was still in theaters. Granted the quality was really bad, and the audio stunk. But these aren't exactly the things that I look for in a movie so it was all good. |

| quote: | | Of eight respected computer security experts consulted for this article, all agreed that hacking into a bank was doable, and most insisted it wouldn't be all that hard. "If I were going into e-crime, I'd hit a bank," says Jon David, a security guru who has worked in the field for 30 years. Why haven't banks been hacked, then? Oh, but they have--big time. In 1994, a 24-year-old programmer in St. Petersburg, Russia, named Vladimir Levin hacked Citibank for $10 million. He was later caught, extradited to the United States and is serving a three-year sentence. (All but $400,000 of the money was recovered.) |
^^^I believe that's the biggest computer hacking bank heist ever.
HOWEVER, I think the biggest non-site bank heist was done using Social Engineering, which is a persuasion technique used to obtain information from People (think of it as Social hacking). I think it was in the first chapter of Kevin Mitnicks The Art of Deception where some guy simply called a bank pretending to be several fake people and within 15 minutes he had a ton of money wired to his accounts. |
