Thanks for checking out this episode of BanktasticTV’s “The Burst.” Here are some important notes about this episode:

Banktastic LinkedIn Group
David G., one of Banktastic’s awesome members, took it upon himself to create a group on LinkedIn for Banktastic! You can get to the group by clicking here, or search “Banktastic.com” in LinkedIn’s groups. We are super privileged to have members like David that do little things like this for Banktastic. David, you rock!

News: At Countrywide, One Overlooked PC Led to Loss of 2M Records
I shared news yesterday about an insider breach at Countrywide Home Loans. The company had sealed up all of the USB ports on employee computers, but they missed one. An employee caught the open USB port and began stealing customer information over the course of two years. The article discusses that closing off a port can be done with something as simple as glue, but that stronger measures, such as a registry hack, may need to be taken if you want to ensure that your company’s data won’t be transferred via USB ports.

Brad working with Texas Bankers Association
Brad was unable to join us this week as he was out of town working with Texas Bankers Association. As you know, TBA is the first private network to join on with Banktastic. We are super excited to have them on board! Brad has been attending one of their conferences to showcase the network this week, and he’ll have some great footage for us next week. Look forward to that!
