This reminded me about a bit that came up in a recent discussion on
security data sharing: why banks would share that a branch was robbed, but
not that a bank was hacked?
Parallel to this, when a bank branch gets robbed, few people say "OMG, they
had such bad physical security", while if they get hacked, everybody says
that...

What is so special about physical world? Or, maybe there is something
special about the digital world?
