all this really means is that the hackers will need to be a little more clever


Right, or to put it another way, 96% of the script-kiddie hackzorz have no shot.

I'm dubious of offerings from big corporates like MacAfee -- they might be more show than go, because there is a PR aspect for both sides (PR = lies).

Nevertheless, kudos to Camp BX for getting *some* accreditation from an objective third party.  Sure, a top-drawer hacker might still be able to waltz right in, but at least there is a real barrier to entry.  That's a lot more than some exchanges can say, and it shows that they've made a commitment to doing it right.

Thanks for reading through the report, error.

Now we should ask them about their plans for two-factor authentication, because they might not have thought about that yet...  ;-)
