Well Tom Hanks + HBO has always been great in the past, maybe this'll prompt me to finally read American Gods.

I'm not really comfortable with them handicapping a certain type of spider in order to see how well it'll fight if they do x or cut its leg off.

I'll ignore that they're playing stud in the picture, but Picard must have check, check, checked the hell out of that.

"There are four aces" hands down my absolute favorite...but there are 4 Aces, why would Ackbar think it's a trap?

It's textbook Auditing - Internal Controls, no accounting firm in the world would say that Patco was doing enough to protect themselves.

Yes but the FDIC does not insure for theft, they protect against banking failures, like a stock market crash leading to a bank going out of business...so the FDIC has nothing to do here.

Okay my bad, thought you were employing sarcasm or something there.

You realize that if insurance companies suspect foul play and investigate it, they might not have to actually pay you there. They use the same procedure for arson.

average Joe's account was not hacked, their(Patco's) computers were hacked, and in turn money was withdrawn from their account. You're missing a logic step there.

The Patco people downloaded the trojan, that's how they obtained their banking information. They then sent that information to the bank with routing and check numbers(over ACH)

the FDIC has nothing to do here, the security measures of the bank were more then adequate, the company fucked up. the company's computers were hacked, they needed better security, don't blame the bank.

the FDIC doesn't ensure for problems like this anyway.

For a keystroke trojan to work it would have to be on your computer and not the banks, so who really is the negligent one there? It's accounting, it's Sarbox, it's internal controls.

Bigger companies move bigger amounts of money, what threshold do you set it at? For some, moving $1 million a day is normal(but they're probably bigger in commercial paper then banks)

I'm in Audit, and we call that internal controls. The Zeus Malware would have been limited to strictly one user account on the computer(or should have been) so they would have needed to (randomly) get the person(or few people) at the company with the password, unless everyone had the password...still seems unlikely to…

I guess we should ask Peach or Daisy...

I very much so like Anne Hathaway like that...

"It will come with seven multiplayer maps based on levels from Halo 1-3" and Blood Gulch too, right?!

It would have worked better had they made it an offshore "sailing" casino and then used it to sneak goods into North Korea...China can't trade North Korea the good stuff anyway because we monitor NK too closely. We gave them their nuclear material 20-30 years ago before/while Clinton was in talks with them.

And this thing would have fought against Nimitzes and F-16s and now we have Fords and F-35s...really a fair fight.
