The Voice of Customer surveys you do, whether you use NPS or some other customer satisfaction metric, represent interactive data. And there’s no better judge of the quality of a customer experience than the customer herself, so interactive feedback is vital. This kind of feedback has proven particularly handy for immediately revealing mistakes, errors, or missteps in the experience delivered to a customer during a transaction or some other event.

A new remote access trojan (RAT) is aiming at financial technology companies in the UK and European Union to capture sensitive information through keylogging and screen captures. Described in a Thursday blog post from cybersecurity firm Cybereason, the RAT named PyVil comes courtesy of the Evilnum APT (Advanced Persistent Threat) group. But this one has a few new tricks up its sleeve compared with previous trojans deployed by the group.

The group typically sets its sights on financial technology (FinTech) companies, and mostly those located in the UK and EU.

Capital One ordered to pay $80 million penalty for its role in a 2019 data breach

dhita yudha

Capital One will pay an $80 million civil penalty for its role in a 2019 security breach that exposed the personal data of more than 100 million customers, The Wall Street Journal reported. In a scathing report on its investigation into the breach, the Office of the Comptroller of Currency, part of the US Treasury. said Capital One was aware its security practices were woefully insufficient, and that the company’s board of directors “failed to take effective actions to hold management accountable.”

The breach happened in March and April of 2019, but Capital One was apparently not aware of the problem until mid-July. That’s when someone tipped the company to a public GitHub page where private Capital One data was available. That led investigators to former Amazon cloud employee Paige Thompson, who was charged with wire fraud and computer fraud. Authorities say Thompson was able to exploit a “configuration vulnerability”

dhita yudha

OLMSTED FALLS, Ohio – Garry and Chris Thompson have seen many changes since opening their T & S Power Equipment shop 41 years ago.

One part of their Olmsted Falls business that has not changed, however, is the enjoyment of their customers — the people.

“The coolest part of the business is the retail side – the people. The friendships you make over the years,” Garry said. “You may only see them a few times or maybe just one time a year but being a local business you see them out in the community, too. That is real enjoyment.”

Garry and Chris grew up in Olmsted Falls. In fact, their son Bryan is a fourth generation Bulldog grad. Garry and Chris met in school and tied their marriage knot Feb. 24, 1979. That is the same year they opened T & S, which stands for Thompson and Shepard, the latter

Capital One Financial COF has agreed to pay $80 million in fine to U.S. banking regulator over a data breach incident that occurred last year. The cyberattack exposed personal information of 106 million credit card holders of the bank in the United States and Canada.

In the consent order, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) stated that Capital One did not “establish effective risk assessment processes prior to migrating significant information technology operations to the public cloud environment.” The OCC also noted that even after concerns related to cyber security were raised during an internal audit, the top management didn’t take proper action.

Under the terms of the OCC order, Capital One is required to take adequate steps to ensure that its computer system has sufficient security and submit the plans for review. The company faces a similar oversight from the Federal Reserve.

Big data may help BOJ guide economy through pandemic pain

dhita yudha

By Leika Kihara

TOKYO (Reuters) – Big data is providing some surprising results for the Bank of Japan and helping ease concerns about pressure on the economy during the coronavirus pandemic, which could influence the way the BOJ manages the world’s most radical monetary stimulus.

By tapping data provided by Google showing people’s movement via mobile phones, the BOJ found that households’ discretionary spending rebounded faster and more vividly in Japan than in other countries after lockdown steps were lifted in May.

Other big data also showed a marked rebound in durable goods sales such as personal computers, which offset some of the weakness in spending on services including leisure, eating-out and travel.

The revelation helped convince BOJ policymakers to conclude the economy has past the worst and did not need immediate, additional monetary support.

“We expect the economy to recover gradually and steadily,” BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said after
