Analyze the source code (extremely difficult)

Find indications of an attack (ex. an account that grows without deposit transactions)

Random audits especially of financial data, will pick up a pattern of discrepancies and lead to discovery.


Don't ignore what appear to be errors in computer-based financial or other accounting systems.

How To Prevent?

The corporate has to update the security of the system as high as possible so that if the attacker is taking advantage of any loophole than that bug is patched and attack is avoided.

Also those banks should advise customers on reporting any kind of money deduction that they aren't aware that they were a part of .Whether a small or big amount' banks should encourage costumers to come forward and openly tell them that this could mean  that an act of  fraud could very well be the scenario.

The safe thing to do  is to make sure the bank/website is highly trusted and hasn't been a part of a slanderous past that involved fraud in any way.
