Today I noticed a random bit-flip for the third time in my life! A "5" was changed to a "7" in the bank account number on invoices I sent. That could have had pretty big consequences!! Luckily the number was on the invoice twice and the buyer noticed the two were different.
The bit flipped happened in the template I used when I made changes to it in October. It subsequently affected all invoices I sent since that date. Luckily all of these had already been paid by card, so no transactions were made to the incorrect number.

@marver - maybe we should revisit our plans to do bit-flip squatting on the IP addresses of mayor websites and see how we can apply this to financial systems?Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
