Billionaire businessman Zachary Rackham has been targeted by a highly sophisticated hack that successfully withdrew 1 billion credits from his personal account.
A spokesperson for Rackham Capital Investments informed shareholders:
âWe have reported the theft to the authorities, and are reviewing our computer security systems. The only clue as to the criminalsâ identity is a message they left encoded in Mr Rackhamâs account: âThe Collective plays to win.ââ
Financial journalist Bryanna Blanco commented in The Federal Times:
âThe purpose of the hack was evidently to reclaim the billion-credit prize that Rackham âwonâ in the Federal Grand Lottery. What Rackham Capital Investments didnât reveal was that the money was redistributed equally among several hundred of the companyâs former employees, who were denied their company pensions years ago.â
âThere is a sweet irony to the old pirate Calico Zack having his money stolen by cyber pirates. Whoever the Collective might be, they seem to have both a sense of justice and a sense of humour.â
