Now the "armchair robber" its so easy or maybe a group of them, but anyways with rewards like that, it sure goosing the idea.

Malware, real hardcore malware going for the big bucks. I just hope none bites the plain old bank consumer, heck I plead for insurance companies too. It hurts everyone with losses like that. -----Willy Happy
