Note that a) this is from the Daily Mail, not renowned for technology journalism b) the bank accounts mentioned in the story are in Britain (not worldwide).

This story is roughly akin to those panicked emails your uncle Bert sends you from time to time about how the world is coming to an end because apparently there's a virus out there.
