Re: Mitnick to help protect banks
"For banks and other e-tailers, phishing is a primary concern. I've tested The 41st Parameter's technology and I found that most phishers will become extremely frustrated because of the difficulty of impersonating a legitimate customer," Mitnick said. "Given enough time, effort, and resources, any system can be broken, but the effort to break this technology is too time consuming."
" Mitnick said. "Given enough time, effort, and resources, any system can be broken, but the effort to break this technology is too time consuming."
That's very un-mitnick-ish if you know what I mean, he even said himself: "every time some [developer] says, 'nobody would go to the trouble of doing that', there's some kid in finland who will go to the trouble. And not just in finland but in america, as well". The fact that they quote him on saying that is very odd, because either he is downright lying to the corporation he's working for, has lost it, or they are missquoting him.
This needs to be investigated further, it's very strange, but then again it may be exactly like a hacker to do this if he's not liable.
