looks a bit pathetic IMHO.

btw guys .. how about we compile a list of “hacker” films / movies? Maybe list non-Hollywood ones as well. I previously enjoyed the german film 23.

Could also categorize them ..

Yes of course! These researchers are astounded to find out how often data is lost on the ‘net. But honestly, I’m usually astounded that the internet actually works and very rarely breaks down

Ive been watching a new series on Miro lately called Bike2Oz, which describes the travel adventures of a couple who decide to make it from UK to Australia. They use the bicycle to travel to create more awareness about the environment and pollution and all that. Episode 4 or 5 was about Iran, which was particularly interesting since I had just watched  (which I’d also recommend).

This morning I woke up to go straight to the bank.

A few hours before I’d made use of an ATM that dispensed the right amount of money for me, but while I was fixing my credit cards, the money was absorbed by this greedy ATM again. I made another transaction because I still needed my 50 euros. So 2 transactions in a few minutes. However that is not what my statement said when I checked it out on the online banking service. To my surprise I noticed that there were 4 transactions during that time. A -50 EUR, a +50 EUR (i suppose this is when it ate my money), and a double -50 EUR. So I ended up with 100 euros less in my account instead of 50. Not good.

So I went to the bank and explained the situation to them, they acknowledged this and told me that I should have the money back over the weekend.

Did you come across any other ATM glitches?

If you read the original “Security Engineering” by Ross Anderson, then you’ll probably be pleased to know that an update is due to be released soon. Check out this interview.

The obligatory Amazon link.

ps. its weird that amazon says that it will be released on the 14th apr 2008 while they claim that they have it in stock. guess they’re mixing up the old version with the new one
