Excuse me Barista, but Bank of America’s system was hacked midsummer, and I along with millions of their customers were informed via mail of the incident. Nothing is impossible and you can spin it anyway you want. So while I choose to believe what you think is impossible is possible, I’ll consider the feat as admirable. OK, Jorli D point taken! But I said the United States Banking System! That means the Untied States Treasury System, since they control the whole Banking system and all transactions that take place within said system! The Treasury tracks each and every transaction that happens between banks! FYI, Bank to Bank transactions is what that means! One banks system (B of A) being hacked into doesn't mean they had access to the "Banking system". Yes, they had access to B of A's system, but no one else's!
I don't know why the lottery and the US Banking systems would be so safe when the government websites are hacked so many time each day??? I also don't know why AOL is advertising that no one will get hacked or suffer from identity theft. That is a big claim that so far NO ONE has ever been able to stop. There are people who believe their whole purpose in life is to hack sites and create viruses. Well for one a website is one thing and the banking system is a horse of a different color all together! A website is usually hosted by someone else and not by the company that has it's name on said website! Yes, companies do host their own sites, but most have a hosting company to do it for them, because of the cost involved in maintaining said site! Our Government does the same thing, they have someone else host most of their sites! And if those companies that do the hosting don't have the experienced security people to protect said websites, then it would be best for them to find one that does! Most of the time, it's best to spend the dime to save a dollar than it is to spend the dollar to save a dime! And that's exactly what our government does, they spend the dollar to save a dime! This identity theft thing is from people being duped into giving their important information up freely! They get an e-mail from a con that's phishing and they answer it by going to the phony website and handing their info over to them! And those same people don't bother having the simplest of virus protection and or a firewall on their computer to protect them from a Trojan horse virus! And if they do have virus protection (of any kind) they don't bother keeping it updated like they should!
Thank you KyMystikal. What I’ve learned about Barista Express is he/she thinks if they phrase their comments to sound as if they know for fact the answers, then they think they have convinced everyone of their BS. Some people on LP do have brains and can think freely. Apparently Barista is hoping against that. I'll be I've been found out ! NOT! The only BS around here is "You" Jorli D! Like I told someone else here on LP just a few days ago. I have learned something very important in life from my parents! I was taught, someone who sticks their nose in someone else's business is a FOOL! And a person who does it when asked to do it, is even a "BIGGER FOOL"! So Jorli D, by your BS of sticking your nose in where it didn't belong, convinces me and everyone else here on LP, you're a "FOOL"!
