A good analysis from JJ of some of the shortcomings and thoughts for future versions.</p> <p>I&#39;m still not clear why incidents are being referenced against deposits held - surely sheer number of customers would make sense? If Bank of Bigtown has a million customers who receive a phishing mail, there is more chance of some being foolish and falling for it than Smalltown Credit Inc who only have a thousand customers. </p> <p>And of course, any incident is equally bad for each individual victim who gets cleaned out or left unable to pay their bills, get future credit etc.</p> <p>Re: 3.</p> <p>I&#39;m even luckier than you then - I know that last week I was _not_ hacked on at least 7 separate occasions. ;-) </p> <p><a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://veroblog.wordpress.com/2007/10/01/using-anti-virus-software-to-keep-the-elephants-away/">veroblog.wordpress.com/.../using-anti-virus-software-to-keep-the-elephants-away</a></p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://msinfluentials.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=7469" width="1" height="1">
