President Nicolas Sarkozy Hacked
Some hackers have lofty goals. French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s bank account was hacked and money was stolen:
“…The unknown hackers removed several small sums of money from the account after obtaining Sarkozy’s online access codes. An inquiry was launched after the president noticed the transactions and complained to the police, said a government spokesman.”

Perhaps internet crime and security has risen suddenly as a priority item on the French legislative agenda.

I can think of a few “Fat Cats” who would deserve this.

itis unbelievable that even a president’s bank account is not protected. How would a regular citizen feel protected?

It’s irrelevant if it’s the President’s account or not… maybe the password was “Carla Bruni”
