hi.i work somewher and the guy he pay me whit one check ...is international money order from security pacific national bank and i want know if this check is good or not...ty
Well, it's a bit late now. It's been 4 and a half years since you posted your question. 3 years later the bank went out of business, so the money order is certainly no good now. It probably would have expired before then anyway. Hopefully you took it to a bank before it was too late and asked them. -Hccrle (talk) 20:57, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
The Rifkin Incident
editApparently this page gets read quite a bit. :-) Anyway, I am guessing that this self-promoting, but true, story would not be considered appropriate for the main article, so I am putting it here.
Earlier that year (I think it was that year), my company was considered by the same bank for the contract to beef up their computer security. I am referring to Computation Planning, Inc. (COMPLAN), a company I worked for, part time and full time, from 1974 to 1987, as a programmer. Obviously they chose Stanley Rifkin over us. We gave them a number of suggestions when we visited them on how to avoid hackers. They scoffed at them and did not adopt them. As a result, Rifkin was able to rob them the way he did. I am free to write about this only because the bank is no longer in business.
So what is the outcome of all this? Rifkin, after he got out of prison, became a successful computer security consultant, while we struggled to survive. COMPLAN went out of business about 12 years ago. The patent that we got in 1981 expired virtually unused (because we couldn't afford to enforce it) in 1998. I am convinced that if every company and government agency used it, the hacking incidents we read and hear so much about in the news would not have happened.
Me? I'm disabled with several medical conditions, chief among which are migraine headaches and a sleep disorder. After fighting the Social Security Administration (the first client I worked for when I was hired by COMPLAN!) for almost 3 years, I finally am on disability and Medicare as of late 2009 and I am still struggling to get on other programs.
In case anyone is interested, the U.S. patent I referred to is # 4,262,329. -Hccrle (talk) 21:26, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
