You need to collect some of the email in question, print it out. Mail it via International Registered mail to the attention of a Bank Officer at the bank in question. In the enclosure, explain the sensitive information is being sent to you because of their IT's incompetence and that this information is overwhelming your resources. Insist that they fix the problem, and PAY YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORTS IN DEBUGGING THEIR PROBLEM. Explain, politely, that if you don't have a response, with a check enclosed, in a reasonable amount of time (a week, say), you will be forced to send a copy of the same package to various media outlets, as well as the NFBI (is that the right agency? the one that oversees banks) so that their releasing confidential client information will become public knowledge. Also explain that you will be contacting the clients themselves to explain that their information is being let loose on to the Internet due to the banks incompetence. GUARANTEE that will get their attention. If it doesn't then end the package to the Wall Street Journal, the NY Times, The LA Times, The SF Chronicle, The Chicaog Sun-Times, The Washington Post, etc and send a letter to each of the clients you can identify. Include a copy of your original letter to the bank. Not only should this stop IMMEDIATELY, you should get some serious scratch for keeping your mouth shut. Fact is, this gets out it could cost them tens of millions of dollars. Depending on how it played out in the press and who their clients are, if could easily bankrupt them. Would YOU leave your money in a bank that was giving out your information via unsecured connections to a total stranger? Would your company? Would ANY company? -- ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
