Titled "Keystroke Cops," it discusses the FBI's new cyberswat team. In the midst of a routine discussion of whether law enforcement needs to keep up with cyberspace criminals, the following intriguing quote appeared. "Already, Fuentes said, federal authorities in New York are investigating whether programmers hired to write software for a financial institution may have left a 'back door' open in the program, one through which money may have been diverted to foreign bank accounts." Does anyone know what this federal investigation in New York is about? How about copying this note around and seeing what people can find out? David Wiesner ---- My pleasure, Dave. bd
