Partnership Symposium Coverage
We got a lot of really great video and interviews from Partnership Symposium last week! If you want to watch everything we got, check out this week’s “CU Scoop”. We had a great time in Indianapolis and meeting a lot of Banktastic members for the first time!

Finovate 2008
Just a reminder - Mark and I will be in NYC next week for Finovate 2008! We’re going to be live blogging this event and getting some great video interviews for next week’s episode. At this time, we’re still looking for a guest blogger, so if you’re interested please email me at lisa@banktastic.com. We’re really excited to see the presentations and visit NY! Find us at the event next week!

How is Your FI Holding Up in this Economy?
The question was asked on Banktastic several months ago, but we’ve seen a huge change in the economy since then. How is the recession hurting your FI? What significant changes have you had to make? Our economy has taken many hits over the last couple of months, so we’re wanting to know what you’re having to do to keep your FI out of trouble. Share your thoughts on Banktastic!

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!
