Plug-ins The Code War Within [A short story]

Plug-ins 

The Code War Within

 



Working staff moved in a preprogrammed manner into The Earnest Bank as the clock was moving towards a point to touch 10:00 AM. Normally the time gap between staff and customers occupying the bank for transactions was roughly about 15 minutes. The day was perfect, and no critic could write anything about it. Earnest Bank with branches all over the country was much favored by the working class who are always at the core of the economic wheel.

The average transactions of the Bank everyday was with just about 0.75 percentage on variance from its optimum set parameter marking it on either side. The Board executives of the Bank suggested business planners to propose financial products for the Bank to enhance its revenue in the coming months.

At a distance of three flying hours from the city of the Bank Headquarters were two young programmers working on many Plug-ins to work on much software.  One such Plug-ins they wanted to run was in its final stage for testing. This Plug-in has a timer set to run the function precisely at the stroke of midnight and finish the process without any loop.

During the Mid-Day of the daily transactions on Wednesday the two programmers hitched into the Banking Digital System and tailored in their plug-ins. Using Crawlers moving backwards undetected in a flowing data traffic the worm was programmed to access the main Database through Customer Digital Banking Platform.

At the stroke of midnight all bank accounts worked automatically and ended up with digital movement of money between bank accounts until all bank accounts arrived at an equal balance. No money was moved out of the banking system but simply rearranged within the system.

As the cold war enters into a digital age the Law makers are busy closing gaps in the Laws and programmers are busy patching codes into the program. Just two people, in understanding, can change the world, but gains are sweeter than sacrifices.
