A classic example of superzapping resulted in a $128,000 loss at a New Jersey bank. The manager of computer operations was using a superzap program when he discovered how easy it was to make changes without the usual controls or journal records. He made changes, transferring money to three friend's accounts, and continued long enough for a customer to find a shortage. 5, record 1, English, - superzapping

Un exemple classique de superzapping est à l'origine d'une perte de 128 000 $ pour une banque de New Jersey. Le directeur des opérations informatiques utilisait un programme superzap lorsqu'il découvrit à quel point il était facile de faire des échanges sans les contrôles habituels ou les enregistrements journaliers. Il effectua des échanges, transférant de l'argent sur les comptes de trois amis, et continua assez longtemps pour qu'un client s'aperçoive d'un manque sur son compte. 4, record 1, French, - superzapping
