Did you see that ....it is 23 .20 and apparently most of the banks are
using IBM computers
/4852 or something/ for encrypting their traffic and credit card etc..
A student from Cambridge has menage to crack the Security that took
millions to build and
many people involved /military grade/.The hack is combination between
software and hardware!!!
It allows you to generate card number and pin code and draw virtually any
amount of money
without being caught . It is publish on the web in the last hour but they
didn't show the address !!!
It was a common opinion that all bank should consider to listen to Open
source community and
many of them are relaying on "Security through obscurity" !!!
Any one more info ???
Apparently IBM Technicians have to stay whole night to find the solutions
in USA :)!!!
