What of Kaspersky now?

Barclays gave it to us some years back. I became concerned that the world would be vulnerable to the whim of one man. I stopped using it and this is after sorting some problems that Barclays specific department finally conceded I was right and sent me two lots of 25 quid for my input.

Now, Mr Kaspersky is britting shicks. To keep data safe he has to be able to get into his customer's deepest vaults. Hmmmm. Okay, British banks used to let me into their buildings - one even gave me the front door key of a city bank so that I could work on a Sunday. I never saw another soul. Anyway, trust is needed but this particular bloke worked for the NSA. It all came out into the open.

The top anti virus for several years. I'd say the company was now worth a small fraction of where it was 2 years ago. I'm having talks with Barclays starting tomorrow.

Pity you don't hold the key still!

Good luck with your communication with Barclays considering that it is a weekend.

But wouldn't this be something that you would bring up with your bank rather than on Pprune?

Bit of a hit and miss thread to be honest!

Ah, but Barclays won't tell the world. Prune is a big site.


Keys . . . yes, it was surreal. I've never been so scared of losing a key in my life. I was in a mezzanine office looking down on the vaults through very thick glass. I've no doubt that there was a BD eye on me somewhere but there was't the slew of cameras that we have these days.

PPRuNe is a very small site in the grand scale of things.

Considering how many people use the site which on a daily basis is not huge you have had one response which was from me and it was intended as a rather sarcastic response to be honest.

If you really want to TELL THE WORLD I suggest that you use social media such as Facebook or Twitter as that's telling the World not a little comment on an irrelevant site such as PPRUNE that no one has even bothered looking at.

To be honest it's the wrong site for what your trying to achieve!

Well to be honest how many views have you had and above all how many people have responded to your post, do they really care but meanwhile on social media literally millions of people are telling the world that's being relevant.
