 		[NEW SITE] PCBC
...and while we are discovering new websites related to Sentinel ads, I ran across:

 		Just offhand, PCBC's login doesn't appear to need a key to log in. Therefore, I smell we can get inside here once we get a username and password.

But, this is odd, in the other hand. Why would a place that almost requires so much security have a "convienent" keyless entry system? Even the darn Sentinel needs a key to authorize subscriptions and retrieve news. This is a bank, and yet you don't need a key to log in? I understand that you may have to go through voice and fingerprint and retina scans... but still... there's no key... that just bothers me.

If I was a Perplex City resident who used PCBC, I'd be wondering about my lecks.

 		My thought is that this is the site for earth residents, and maybe there will be the ability to transfer money across =S...

Maybe they have an alternate method of authentication because they do not like/trust keys or are worried about viruses. Maybe they are trying to be like the old-school Swiss bank accounts where you only need a couple pieces of fairly anonymous and non-electronic information, without having to provide a million forms of ID. You know, "deposit a million dollars in this anonymous Swiss acount; here's the account number" sort of stuff.

 		I'm just wondering whether we're getting more access to the Conspiracy than ever before - I have suspicions that the Bank, the Brotherhood and Cognivia may all be key players somewhere along the line...

Nope--like the student library search, this seems to be (at the present time) hard-coded to always return failure.

 		I haven't even had time to read any of the new websites aside from just glancing at them, but I stumbled across this in the news section of PCBC:

Quote:
The Swift Key System has been updated. Cory Clary explains how this change will benefit all PCBC customers and help to increase the speed and efficiency of financial transactions.


My wild speculation: Cory Clary is "C" from the Salk logs. Cory, that's a woman's name, right?

Also, according to the login help page:

Quote:
Biometric Security

You may be required to authenticate yourself to our systems by enabling previously specified biometric security measures. These include fingerprint, voice stress, retinal, movement and cortical scans, in addition to the standard username and password combinations. All of our security measures comply with the Perplex City Banking Code.


So until we can send them our cortical scans, we're out of luck.

 		So what we really need now is The Advisor's bank account details....
