The Dark Economy

Interesting blog post at the British Computer Society's blog about the Dark Economy, which states that there are 17,000 unique signatures of new threats per day; this threat has been growing massively since 2006 with 9 out of 10 threats being from Trojans which download from 'innocent links'. The blog links to a BBC Radio…

Using mobiles as a financial channel

On May 28th, the Financial Services Club is holding the second joint meeting with Intellect on Technology Trends – the first was in March and focused upon low latency – sponsored by Speechly Bircham. This meeting will focus upon mobile as a financial channel. The idea of mobile financial services has been a hot topic…

Using video as evidence of compliance

Tomorrow, there's an interesting little conference called "AV in the City" down at Canary Wharf. Not your usual event as it's all about multimedia projectors and CCTV for banks and financial firms. I got roped into it as one of my strong beliefs is in using video for finance, as mentioned before, and TANDBERG is…

The Susan Boyle Bank

I’ve talked before about the new economics of banking and how the businesses we ran ten years ago should now cost 80% less to run. For example, 80% of the costs of the Financial Services Club would have been in mailing, telephone and printing ten years ago, sending out newsletters and invitations, calling people to…

Stock picking with real-time news

I now know why Google's staff are so rich and wealthy. It's not down to their shares, which rocketed since the 2004 IPO: because, like everyone else's, it's also tanked. Google's stock peaked at the end of 2007 at over $700 per share and is now down at just under $400. Result: there must be…
