Yes but you actually need to notice that it happened which requires them to actively monitor their transactions on all of their accounts.

Do they not have account alerts in your country? Any time any of my balances change, I get an immediate push notification.

Frequent notifications can create notification fatigue and that's not really great either as I'm sure anyone who gets false positive alerts from monitoring system knows.
