[Defense and government networks are hardening their security, but for regular users, the best strategy against high-tech crime can be simple.] Our best defenses against these kind of attacks are often of a low tech variety -- that is, keep paper records of your transactions, ...

BB&T over the years largely has grown through the merger-and- acquisition process, acquiring community banks and thrifts, and that's been successful on our part. Over the last year we've had a little of this indigestion from a lot of mergers over a short period. We needed to take a little breather to refocus on organic revenue growth, and we think we're near that period of time where our internal operations are where we want, so we're looking at getting back into the (M&A) business.
