I'm a banker AMA

Yes it was pretty awesome.

Okay.. Interesting tbh.

It really is. I've told management up front that I enjoy pokeing around in systems to see if I can find access to systems I shouldn't have. I have discovered documents and large points of data that could be used maliciously... But I wouldn't. I just report them to our risk assessor's and move on.

Biggest hole I found was access to some source code on our mobile app. I got a fat reward on that one.
How realistic is the bank robbery in the Robert De Niro/Al Pacino movie 'Heat'? That movie fucking kicks ASS, but I always wondered why no fuck at the bank noticed that Tom Sizemore and Val Kilmer clearly had automatic weapons under their suits. If I'dve worked there, I'dve been like, holy shit, we're clearly about to get our asses robbed.

That also requires skills/competences, and is actually a rare element to find in an employee. I have big respect for what you are doing.

Eh, that's kinda old to be honest so might've been possible back then. I don't work on accounts in person I work from home.

There's been a lot of changes since like 2010 alone.

I dunno dude, you seem pretty perceptive, I think if Val Kilmer and Tom Sizemore walked into your house wearing armani suits with automatic machine guns under their jackets, you'd vibe that some shit was about to go down.

Watch that movie though, seriously, it's fucking awesome. Even my wife likes that movie, and she's a girl.
Do you do it for their interest or your own interest in a way?
Do you do home loans, lending etc? What do you specialize in

What do you mean their interest or my own?

We do home loans and lending but I'm trained in bank accounts and credit cards. So pretty much anything to do with them. Fraud claims, disputes, applications, etc.

I don't work in that department but first line is just reps seeing the signs in money in and out that looks suspicious they get flagged and reviewed from there.

Originally it was to keep up on certain hacking trends and software. Now it's just for fun.
I was off the forums for awhile, actively answering questions for fun again!
It's been awhile, no more questions? I still work for a large bank.
