This might well be a full-time job. So, is it worth it to your organization to pay a qualified person whatever it takes to do such a job constantly in your organization?

I was in this business for 40+ years and big organizations do have such people. They are paid much in excess of $80K per year, so keeping one on staff would be the equivalent of taking two of these hits every year. It would be more cost effective to stop using the electronic bill pay and other such tools that open your accounts to cybertheft and return to paper checks, envelopes and stamps. Then the bank would have some liability.

Convenience has its price.
