When there are plenty of people who are steeped in the dogma of Imaginary Property, and whose lives depend on it, it's not too surprising.


FYI: "Money" is imaginary property. Not sure you want to call people supporting "imaginary property" dogmatic. It's what our society is built on.


Money is not imaginary. You can touch and interact with it.


That's like saying movies aren't imaginary either because there's blu-rays. Even if we take that point at face value though, the vast majority of money is imaginary, only existing on ledgers. When the fed "prints money", it's just adjusting an entry on a database somewhere.


The vast majority of money is not physical, by likely 2 orders of magnitude, so you cannot touch it. It's a value in a ledger that can be moved electronically (or copied by hand).

It's paper and ink that we've given a perceived value to.


Was the hacker motivated by IP? The article appears to say no.


I/P not IP, as in Israel/Palestine.


From the article, there was a DDoS carried out by a pro-Palestine group.

The access tokens were stolen by someone else, who wasn't motivated by anything Israel/Palestine.


By a group that wanted to appear as "pro-Palestinian".

That doesn't mean they were of course, and most likely they weren't.

The article itself clearly doesn't take the claimed associate at face value.
