re:
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2018.html#110 Making Computers Secure

reference to consumer "dial-up" banking moving to internet and
commercial dail-up saying they would never move to the internet
because of large number of vulernabilities and exploits
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2018.html#94 Predicting the future in five years as seen from 1983

after the turn of the century, commercial dial-up banking started 
moving to the internet (regardless) and the perdicted exploits started
appearing. Commercial transactions don't have the some rules as
consumer transactions (and not required by financial institutions
to cover the costs, kind of rule that consumer isn't at fault) ... so
businesses would suethe banks over the losses. Eventually the federal
reserve came out with a guidelines that businesses should have a
dedicated PC that is only used for online banking and *NEVER* used for
any other purpose (many of the exploits involved visiting websites
that would install malware and compromise the PC)
