Apologies for going off the topic. You developed something 52 years ago! That's an amazing journey. Since it was pre-internet ages, may I know which platform it was built on.I remember an accounts receivable system I designed for the State of Tennessee back in 1973! Even in those pre-internet ages we were aware that crooks existed and incorporated procedures that required matching invoices to purchases. This is bookkeeping 101.

If FB and Google paid so much real money for fake invoice, is our data really safe with them?They have learned the lesson.
It's not only google and facebook, there's been a lot of cases like thisIf FB and Google paid so much real money for fake invoice, is our data really safe with them?
Thanks for sharing. Pardon my ignorance but this is scary (for the companies) I never thought that such things would be possible with such big companies in digital age.
- Flycatcher – $1 Million Toy Shipment (2024)
Toy company Flycatcher lost three truckloads of Smart Sketchers worth over $1 million due to a scam where criminals posed as legitimate trucking companies, diverting shipments intended for Walmart distribution centers to unauthorized locations.
COBOL with VSAM tables. I'm pretty sure that at least two of my COBOL/IMS applications are still at least partially operational. One for Boeing and one for Pratt & Whitney.may I know which platform it was built on.

Thanks for the reply. Couple of days ago I was doing a random search on GPT about older legacy platforms and COBOL was mentioned there.COBOL with VSAM tables.

Exactly but with the objective of closing the gaps so that no one else could take advantage of our weakness.So, in short you were partially paying your team to hack your systems.
Was it something you said:0 Usually posts go off topic when people think they have been answered and so are adding random comments.after a few posts the second post also went off topic, never to recover.

Isn't that somewhat pedantic? How do you know that the tangential information might not clarify things for the OP or someone else? More than once, a light has gone on for me as some random comment made something else make sense.The worst, especially on technical sites like this, is when someone feels the pedantic need to point out inconsequential errors that neither correct nor clarify anything and add nothing to the conversation other than showing that the poster geniusly spotted something out of place.
