Dave, for IP if you wish...

Why go to that much trouble? Turn on Kazaa or your p2p app of choice and
search for .mny files -- the data stores for Microsoft Money.

Most of these files won't be password protected -- just download, open and you've got a trove of personal financial data to work with. Stumble across a protected file? There are inexpensive utilities for recovering the password.

As long as there are stupid users, the "phishermen" don't need to be very
smart.

Warm Regards,
Greg Brooks
