[QUOTE="Brett_in_Sacto, post: 2363860, member: 71510"]I posted earlier on this and some of the exploits happening in the world. For actual coin/currency content - I did visit the Comptroller of the Currency booth and spent a bit of time asking questions and understanding their mission (and they're actively recruiting for those looking). I spent this week at the RSA security conference in San Francisco. Among the memorable (and teachable) moments - I met the guys that performed the "Chrysler hack" and attended their presentation on how they did it. Truly intuitive and able to see the tinyest exploit and follow it down the rabbit hole. [url]http://money.cnn.com/2015/07/24/technology/chrysler-hack-recall/[/url] I also met Kevin Mitnick last night - and attended his presentation at a vendor/dinner event. It's truly amazing what is capable when you think about your target, modern technology and think a bit outside the box. I watched him hack a proximity card (swipe badge), a bank website and pull detailed info on an audience member - all in the space of about 2 hours. He gave me his "business card" which is actually a stainless steel plate that has a lock pick kit in it that can be snapped out. Most people want to meet rock stars and movie stars. To a nerd since childhood, this was like meeting Jesse James. :) Thankfully he uses his powers for good now. Think about your privacy, your security - and be safe out there. :borg: [ATTACH=full]482528[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
