I have read a lot of threads on commlinks and how can and can't be done with them. There seem to be a lot of different opinions on what is possible but I haven't seen this one yet:
What stops a decent hacker from raiding every commlink he sees and stealing all the money? It's relatively easy for a hacker with decent gear to get admin access to Joe Citizen's commlink. That commlink is his credstick. It seems very easy to steal dozens of peoples' life savings in the time it takes to finish a soykaf. Why bother doing runs when most people are walking around with an open wallet? |
