Superzapping derives its name from Superzap, a macro utility program used in most IBM computer centers as a system tool. Any computer center that has a secure computer operating mode needs a "break glass in case of emergency" computer program that will bypass all controls to modify or disclose any of the contents of the computer. Computers sometimes stop, malfunction ... or perform unexpectedly and need attention that normal access methods do not allow. In such cases, a universal access program is needed. This is similar in one way to a master key to be used if all other keys are lost .... Utility programs such as Superzap are powerful and dangerous tools in the wrong hands.  4, record 1, English, - superzapping

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 DEF

Technique utilisée par un utilitaire fréquemment employé par les grand centres informatiques. Cet utilitaire «saute» par-dessus [toutes] les sécurités et tous les contrôles pour permettre aux informaticiens d'effectuer des corrections au système d'exploitation (patch), d'effectuer des vidages-mémoire ou de rechercher des causes de malfonction. On peut comparer le superzapping au «passe» utilisé dans les grands hôtels pour accéder n'importe où. On a évidemment intérêt à conserver cet utilitaire le plus confidentiel possible.  4, record 1, French, - modification%20%C3%A0%20la%20vol%C3%A9e

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 2, 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 2, French, - superzapping
