Security breach hits U.S. card processors, banks

(Reuters) - The U.S. Secret Service is investigating a major cyber intrusion at an Atlanta-based payment processor that could expose millions of MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover cardholders to fraudulent charges.

Processor Global Payments Inc said on Friday it had found "unauthorized access" into its system early in March and notified law enforcement and financial institutions.

Payment network operators MasterCard Inc, Visa Inc, American Express Co and Discover Financial Services confirmed they were affected, along with banks and other franchises that issue cards bearing their logos.

A spokesman for the Secret Service said the agency is leading investigations into the case but declined to give any details.

Though Global Payments is far from a household name, middlemen such as the company are prized targets for hackers because of the vast amount of sensitive financial information they handle.

The company's stock fell more than 9 percent on the news before trading was halted. It said it would discuss the breach in a phone call for investors on Monday.

It was not immediately clear how Global Payments was penetrated or how many accounts were exposed. Consumers who detect fraud usually can be reimbursed. That leaves merchants on the hook financially, though they could file claims against Global Payments.

Analysts said MasterCard and Visa are unlikely to face costs from the breach, but MasterCard shares fell 1.8 percent to close at $420.54 and Visa shares dropped 0.8 percent to $118.

The security breach is just the latest in a long string of incidents that have put the personal information of millions of credit and debit cardholders at risk.

Individual banks and processors said they had not yet determined the full extent of the breach, but the blog Krebs on Security, which first reported the breach, said it was "massive" and could affect more than 10 million cardholders.

Some industry experts suggested the figure might be much lower, perhaps on the order of tens of thousands. Bernstein Research analyst Rod Bourgeois noted that Global Payments is a relatively small player in the transactions services industry, servicing 800,000 merchants with a 3.5 percent market share. By contrast, the largest competitor, First Data, services millions of merchants, with 22.6 percent of the market.

JPMorgan Chase & Co, as well as American Express and Discover, which issue their own cards, said they are monitoring customers' accounts and would issue new cards to anyone whose information may have been compromised.

Citigroup Inc said it has been notified by processors of the breach. Bank of America Corp declined to comment on the matter and Wells Fargo & Co said it was too early to comment on the impact.

Banks and processors emphasized customers would not be held liable for any fraudulent charges that may occur.

Michael Simonsen, chief executive of real-estate research company Altos Research, said he may have been a victim.

Simonsen said he was contacted by Bank of America last week about his Visa card. Although there were no unauthorized transactions, the representative told him a vendor or law enforcement agency had flagged his account as compromised and so he would receive a new one.

"It was very unusual," he said.

PROCESSING PIPELINE

Global Payments, which has about 3,700 employees, was spun off from information-services firm National Data Corp in 2001.?For the fiscal year ended May 31, Global Payment reported revenue of $1.9 billion, up 13 percent from the year-earlier period. According to a company presentation in January, it estimated fiscal 2012 revenue at about $2.15 billion.

Global Payments is scheduled to report fiscal third-quarter results on Wednesday and an improvement is expected. On Wednesday, Sterner Agee raised its stock price target for Global Payments to $65 from $58.

Global Payments is one of dozens of companies that operate along the payment-processing chain, between the time a person swipes a card to pay and the time the payment is delivered.

The account number, expiration date and possibly the cardholder's name is sent from the point of payment to a processor, which then connects to Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover. Information is then sent to the card issuer ? often a bank ? which ultimately authorizes the transaction.

The actual transfer of money occurs later.

Processing companies, which perform millions of authorizations each day, are supposed to encrypt card information. But a breach could occur if someone gains access to the system and identifies a gap in the encryption.

The information that was likely collected illegally from Global Payments is called Track 1 and Track 2 data. A person improperly using the information can transfer the account number and expiration date to a magnetic strip on a card and then try to use the card on a website.

Thousands of U.S. banks that issue credit and debit cards receive daily alerts regarding breaches, said Thomas McCrohan, an analyst with Jane Capital Markets.

The illegal use of the data could be stymied if an online merchant asks for the three or four digits printed on a card known as the "CV code."

"The systems can all be made tighter, but if they're too tight no transactions would ever be approved," said Edward Lawrence, a director at Auriemma Consulting Group, a payment systems consultant. "You still have to allow commerce to occur."

Rep. Mary Bono, a California Republican who chairs the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade, condemned the Global Payments breach and urged Congress to adopt stronger data-security legislation this year.

"You shouldn't have to cross your fingers and whisper a prayer when you type in a credit card number on your computer and hit 'enter,'" she said in a statement.

RIPPLE EFFECTS

The breach is the first major instance this year of consumer information put at risk by technological flaws or hacking, but there are plenty of examples of massive data breaches in recent years affecting banks, retailers, technology companies and payment processors.

Last June, Citigroup said computer hackers breached the bank's network and accessed data of about 200,000 cardholders in North America.

Sony Corp also reported several recent attacks, including one last year in which hackers accessed the personal information on 77 million PlayStation Network accounts.

Google Inc suffered a major attack on its Gmail accounts in 2011 that it said appeared to originate in China. Attacks against Gmail users involved direct attempts to compromise accounts by tricking users into revealing information - so-called "phishing" - or by gathering their passwords from other websites, rather than compromising Google systems, according to the company.

Separately, TJX Co Inc and Heartland Payment Systems Inc have had their systems compromised.

On Friday, retailers were already beginning to look for fraudulent purchases from the compromised card accounts stemming from the Global Payments breach. They will bear the financial brunt of those crimes under rules worked out with the card associations and issuers, analysts said.

"Our merchant community is sitting here girding itself and looking at their own fraud-prevention strategies and bracing for the influx of bad transactions," said Tom Donlea, managing director for the Americas at the nonprofit Merchant Risk Council. "After Heartland and after the Sony breach, there was an increase in fraud activity."

Songza


Last.FM. Pandora. Slacker. Spotify. These and a wide variety of other streaming music services let you explore the depths of your favorite acts and genres?typically free of charge with a premium for accessing more advanced features. Startup Songza joins these established players with a completely free, ad-supported service that focuses on themed playlists created by both Songza music experts and users. The fledging service has become one of my favorite online music services, thanks to its curated playlists and strong social features. Songza is our Editors' Choice among non-premium streaming music services.

Design and Interface
Songza sports an easy-on-the-eye black, gray, and blue interface that keeps the visual clutter to a minimum. There are a few visual ads, but I'd happily endure those as opposed to having my ears assaulted with Viagra ads between trip-hop tracks. You can sign up for a dedicated Songza account, log in with your Facebook credentials, or execute a search to find a playlist. Three additional options live in the menu bar positioned above the main content area: Music Concierge, Popular, and Browse All.

The Popular section, as the name implies, highlights the hottest playlists of the week, year, and those that are currently trending. The 20-track playlists run the gamut from the expected era-related collections (The Grunge Era) to wacky compilations (100 Worst Songs Ever). Browse All let me rifle through the 50-plus musical genres that Songza offers. I like the variety on display.

Music Concierge is easily one of the most unique features in the streaming music space as it presents music options based on the time of day. For example, Monday Afternoon features Work or Study (No Lyrics), Work or Study (With Lyrics), An Energy Boost, Easing the Tension, and Popular Genres. The Saturday Late Night options include A Sweaty Dance Party, A Nightcap, Getting High, Getting Lucky, and Bedtime. You get a choice of actual music genres after you click one of those options. From there, you can select one of three playlists that are tailored for that time of day. For example, Saturday Night includes the likes of Drop the Bass (electro and dubstep tracks), while Monday Afternoon features Safe For Work (contemporary pop-rock focusing on "female vocalists and sensitive guys").

The Songza Experience
I decided to pass the day with Feelin' Good in the '90s, a playlist of happy, up-tempo '90s songs. The tunes streamed smoothly over our office wireless connection. I could give tracks the "yay" or "nay" by clicking the thumbs up or thumbs down icons, and I could also skip songs. Unfortunately, I couldn't skip to the beginning of a track, which is a feature I've grown accustomed to doing with my Slacker Radio (Free, 4.5 stars) Premium account. Unfortunately, I couldn't listen (or even find!) individual albums, one of my favorite Slacker Radio features. Songza lacks lyrics, but it contains crisp audio that smoothly streamed over my wireless connection.

I did, however, create a playlist by clicking "Contribute A Playlist." The process is dead simple: You give the playlist a title, a description, and add at least 10 songs from six different artists. I quickly built a playlist highlighting the tracks most frequently sampled by hip hop producer (The Songs That Helped Build Hip Hop), and set it up so that others could contribute with tracks of their own. I liked the democratic curation, which gave me a more active role in what the service provides to its users. This is a feature that Spotify (Free, 4.5 stars) possesses; a feature that we'd like to see more services adopt.

Songza implements social networking features, too. I followed other users which resulted in the service updating me when the person I've followed listens to, or favorites, a song. This helped me discover new acts?for better or for worse. You can also comment on songs, and share to Facebook and Twitter. Songza displays a cluster of people who have recently listened to the playlist you're currently listening to, as well as recommending similar playlists. You can save playlists if you're logged in and click "Save Playlist."

Currently, Songza lacks a premium model, which would ideally remove ads and the six-skips-per-hour limitation.

Should You Listen to Songza?
Yes. Songza succeeds because it dares to be different and implements its features in an intuitive and fun manner. If you don't mind the ads and skip limitations, you'll find the service quite enjoyable, especially if you enjoy mixing it up with other music fans. Spotify is the Editors' Choice pick among premium streaming music services due to its collaborative playlists, the ability to import own music files, and more, but if you want an active role in music curation without paying, Songza is the Editors' Choice among free music services.

Your Questions About Insurance Auto Auction

Thursday, March 29th, 2012 at 4:42 am ?

Donald asks?

How would I bid on insurance auto auction please.?

I will like to buy auction cars on internet but I don?t know how.

admin answers:

Go to the site of the auction, and sign up. They have step by step instructions

George asks?

Insurance Auction in CA?

Ok why Insurance Auto Auction sold salvage tittle car that still in good shape and good condition only to this type of business, Dealer, Dismantler, Exporter, Other Licensed Business, Rebuilder or Scrapper? But some cars like those totally in bad condition and bad damage is sold in public people?
Can you still buy those car that is in good shape even its not sold in public?
Thanks for the answer! :]

Insurance companies have a VAST amount of totalled cars that they sell each month. They usually contract to sell them as a LOT. They don?t want someone picking and choosing the GOOD ones, and leaving the heaps behind. MUST BUY ALL is the way it works.

So yes, you certainly CAN go buy ONE particular one, from whatever dealer, dismantler, rebuilder, or scrapper bought the entire lot, from the insurance company.

You?d be buying it with a SALVAGE title, though, because, after all, it?s a total loss!

Sandra asks?

Auto Auction Question !!!?

I want to buy look for a car from an auction place near my where i live , but i don?t understand who are if i am allowed to buy one without being a dealer ?? the place is called ? Insurance Auto Auctions ?
any information on this is appreciated thanks.

admin answers:

Call them and ask what is required to bid on the cars. If you need a dealers license you can usually find a used car dealer that will bid for you for a fee. You will have to have the cash to purchase as financing is not accepted at most auctions.

Chris asks?

Average time before a vehicle is ready for sale on IAAI (Insurance Auto Auctions Inc.)?

I?ve been waiting for this truck to be put up for sale FOREVER. I know IAAI has to receive the title from the insurance company before the can put the truck up for sale but its been like 3 months. Trucks that are completely wrecked that are put up after this truck sell first, but this truck has no damage so i dont know why its taking forever. I know it takes insurance companys forever to do paperwork but 3 months!? if you know the average time for vehicles on IAAI or any other salvage auto auctions it would be great. Til then, the wait continues

admin answers:

There can be many reasons for the delay. If the payoff on the truck is more than the insurance settlement, the owner of the vehicle would have to come up with the difference before the lien holder would release the title.

There may be a lawsuit involved. There may be other issues with the vehicle, such as it having been stolen and the VIN altered, and there may be a delay in getting that straightened out. Without knowing the history of the vehicle, there is no way to be sure.

What happens is the insurance companies have the vehicles towed to IAAI (or another company) to avoid paying storage at tow companies. The insurance companies have a special deal, where the sale company does not charge them for storage. Sometimes the insurance company ends up selling the vehicle back to the owner, if it is a total loss. In that case, the car will never hit the auction block.

There is also the possibility that an employee at IAAI wants to buy the vehicle, and it may be slipped into a sale at the last minute, to try to keep the bidding down. Some locations of IAAI are worse about things like that than others.

Jenny asks?

what i need to get a auto/boat dealer licence in northern CA ?

i want buy a truck from an insurance auto auction and also in the near future a boat but i need a dealer licence to purchase what do i need to get a auto/boat dealer licence ?

admin answers:

Here are some links on how to apply for a California Auto Dealer?s License. Getting a Boat Dealers License is different as is applying for a Boat Broker?s License. The Boat Dealer?s License is for selling NEW boats only. You?ll need a ?Broker?s? License to sell USED boats in the State of California.

Eight Questions You Must Ask Yourself Before You Move in Together

Your relationship is going strong, and you?re thinking about taking it to the next level. Lots of couples decide to live together before getting married. If you?re thinking about it, you must ask yourself these eight questions first.

How well do I know this person?
When you fall in love with someone, you often feel like you?ve know each other forever. But how long have you really known each other? Do you know about their past? Have you met their family? Don?t assume you?ve told each other everything.
Do we trust each other entirely?
If there are any trust issues in your relationship, they won?t be fixed just by living in the same house. They might even get worse. If you don?t have complete trust in your partner, it might not be a good idea to start living together.
Have we discussed all the tiny details?
It?s easy to get caught up in the idea of playing house, but there?s a lot more to think about than just hiring a moving truck. Talk about all the details before you move in together, including who is responsible for cleaning, cooking, home repairs, and other regular chores.

How will our lifestyles mesh together?
If one of you is very clean and the other, well, isn?t, it could cause a lot of tension. If you have different work hours, your sleeping schedules might conflict with each other. Consider how the differences could change or disrupt your routine, and decide if it?s a challenge you?re willing to take on and try to resolve.
Where do I see our relationship in the future?
Moving in together is best suited for couples who plan on a future together, potentially with marriage around the corner. If you?re unsure about how long things will last, or if you have doubts, you might not want to take such a big step. But if you want to live together indefinitely, it might not be a bad idea to start now.
How would we deal with conflicts?
When you have different opinions about something or get into a disagreement, how will you handle it? No matter how well you get along now, when you?re living together you?re bound to butt heads sooner or later. It?s a good idea to come up with a plan for resolving conflicts before you actually have to use it.
Am I really ready to take this step?
If you?re used to living on your own, are you really ready to give up your solitude? Are you ready for the responsibility of sharing a place with someone else? If you aren?t sure, then wait until you are. After you make the move, you?ve made a commitment, and it?ll be harder to back out.
What would happen if we break up?
Relationships don?t always work out as planned. Living together might convince you that you?re just not meant to be. If a break up occurs, what would happen? You should probably discuss this together before moving in. Who will stay in the place? Who gets to keep the furniture? All these details will be harder to sort out when emotions are running high.

Scientists Discover Link Between Trees and Electricity

An anonymous reader writes "Everyone knows that trees give us all oxygen so we can breathe, but according to an Australian scientists they also affect the concentration of positive and negative ions in the air. A team from the Queensland University of Technology's International Laboratory for Air Quality and Health (ILAQH) ran experiments in six locations all over Brisbane and found that positive and negative ion concentrations in the air were two times higher in heavily wooded areas than in open grassy areas, such as parks."

Home Equity Loans Australia: Finance as Equity Value of the Home

Everyone must share the view that people who have their own home are comparatively in better position than those who are non-homeowners. Truth behind this view comes prominently into light when people are to combat crisis caused by scarcity of finance. People of Australia know this no less better than their counterparts living in other regions of the world. A person who owns a home can look for home equity loans Australia as a perfect kind of financial solution. Finance of this kind is available in secured form and home of the homeowner is counted as collateral.

Dream for one?s own home is nothing new among humans. A home for a person is his abode of peace, an undeniable shelter. When he decides to construct a house where he will live in, or when he takes a move to purchase a house for the same purpose, it does not come to his mind that he can avail financial services through his home or house. He just wants to dwell in it without any kind of interference from outsiders. Yes, his privacy is totally honored in his home. Generally, it happens with the person who does not have a home that he tries to work more and to raise his level of income. He devotes his entire energy to achieve the target that he would be a homeowner one day in near or far future, but in his life time. He accumulates all his assets and earnings with the help of which he succeeds in building a home or buying one so. Material value of his home is practically learned when he begins to apply for home equity loans Australia.

The first thing the person who wants to go for home equity loans Australia should do is to assess how much he can earn if he attaches his home for finance. He should learn what amount he can secure if he disposes his home. In this way, he gets the value of his home in the present market. His debts in the finance market are to be subtracted from the market value of his home to find out equity value of his home. This is the amount he can obtain from home equity loans Australia. It should be borne in mind that he can get greater amount towards home equity loans if he has highly satisfactory credit performance. He must, of course, be very clear about the terms and condition associated with the home equity loans Australia.

Hong Kong agriculture and fisheries delegation visits Guangdong ...

Released on March 23rd, 2012

Led by the Director of Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation, Mr Alan Wong, a delegation representing the agriculture and fisheries sector visited Guangdong from March 19 to 23, where they met with their Mainland counterparts and visited scientific research institutes for agriculture as well as agricultural and fisheries enterprises.

?Hong Kong and the Mainland, especially Guangdong, are closely connected. Under the Co-operation Agreement on Quality Agricultural Products, both sides agreed to set up a platform for fostering exchanges on the production and marketing of agricultural products and share relevant information. In addition, Guangdong and Hong Kong will strengthen exchange and training for farming practitioners, researchers and management professionals in quality agricultural production. Both places will establish a co-operation mechanism and organise technical exchange activities,? Mr Wong said.

The delegation met officials from the Department of Agriculture of Guangdong Province and exchanged views on how co-operation between the two places can be further strengthened. They also visited the Guangdong Animal Disease Prevention and Control Centre and Supervision and Inspection Centre for Pesticide Quality and Residue Control under the Ministry of Agriculture.

The delegation visited the South China Agricultural University and Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences to learn more about research studies on pests and disease control in crops and organic farming. To keep abreast of the latest agricultural developments, the delegation visited a vegetable farm and flower market.

On fisheries, the delegation visited an enterprise engaged in the import and export of aquatic products. They shared their experiences in aquaculture techniques.

Members of the delegation included Assistant Director of Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation, Dr So Ping-man; Acting Assistant Director of Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation, Mr Chan Chi-chiu; Legislative Council member, Mr Wong Yung-kan; and representatives from the Vegetable Marketing Organisation, Federation of Vegetable Marketing Co-operative Societies Limited and Advisory Committee on Agriculture and Fisheries. Having completed the visit, the delegation returned to Hong Kong this evening.

Benefits of Sustainable Farms in Texas

Throughout history, farming has played a crucial role in the development of society, and with the downfall of the economy, people are finding ways to use sustainable farming in Texas to produce healthy, low cost foods while protecting the ecosystem around them so that future generations can continue the tradition of agriculture. By using these more sustainable methods, we can ensure that our state and our nation have a successful agriculture industry in the years and generations to come.?

?

To begin sustainable farming in Texas, a future farmer needs to understand the long-term effects of farming locally. To ensure a continuation of rich soil, a farmer must research and use multiple sustainable farming tactics, such as crop rotation and harrowing. These techniques allow a sustainable farm to work because the farmer keeps important nutrients in the soil.

While it may take more work and an investment up-front, the long-term benefits are tremendous, as it helps to ensure that farmers do not ?wear out? the soil and leave it useless down the road.

?

Farmers must also study and understand the specific ecosystem associated with the environment around them to successfully practice sustainable farming in Texas. This means a farmer needs to understand the soil properties in the area and develop an irrigation system that does not disrupt the local waterways. After all, even if a farm rotates its crops appropriately and uses materials that do not harm the soil, sediment runoff into local lakes, rivers and streams can still have a negative impact by disrupting ecosystems.

?

Sustainable farming in Texas and the U.S.

can lead to not only organic and healthier foods, but the act of farming locally also helps keep the environment clean because, if done right, sustainable farming does not pollute surrounding areas. All together, sustainable farming should offer a farmer a choice of homegrown food options and save the farmer money, while protecting the local ecosystem.

?

If you would like to learn more about how you can start a sustainable farm in Texas, there are many resources you can turn to. In fact, Clean Green Nation, a company that provides products and services that are environmentally friendly, is one organization that can help. Get in touch with your local Clean Green Nation authorized partner to get started on your sustainable farming project today if you?d like to learn more about your options.

Tense Use in Your Introduction

Your introduction is like a map. It clearly points your reader in the direction you will be taking them, within the structure of your essay.? It is also a formal introduction, a 'Hi how do you do.' An essay is very different from a creative writing piece, where a writer keeps juicy bits of information away from the reader and divulges them throughout the plot to keep the reader hooked and to drive the plot. You do not need to drive any plot of an academic essay, but of course you need to engage with your reader. For most essays your introduction will be in future tense. If you think of it as a road map it's easy, you are informing the reader of where you will be going. Here is an example of an introduction in future tense:

This essay will argue that socio-economic factors were crucial to the lives of women, and Gissing's Rhoda Nunn highlights this.

The changing views of what was acceptable for Victorian women is articulated in Well's portrayal of Ann Veronica, a biology student who is a strong, resourceful and independent women. This is contrasted with Gissing's Monica Madden, a middle class shop girl who tried and failed to become modern women as she was forced to marry out of economic necessity instead of love. Overall Ann Veronica's rebellion against traditional patriarchal views confirms that attitudes to women were changing and it sets her place as the strongest female character examined in the two novels. The issues that will be examined in regards to opportunities for women herein are female sexuality, the understanding of marriage, marrying out of necessity for money and working life as a woman.

This introduction 'sign-posts' what is to come within the context of the essay.

It is straightforward, it is easy to follow and you get a clear sense of direction.? This will be an essay about first-wave feminism and characters created by male authors.?

If you were to write this introduction in the past tense, how could you signpost? Instead of writing 'This essay will argue that socio-economic factors were crucial to the lives of women' the past tense would be 'This essay argued that socio-economic factors were crucial to the lives of women.' This is incorrect, as you are already telling the reader that you don't need to argue this point because it has already been asserted. So if you are presenting this in the past tense, what's the point of writing the rest of your essay?

Yet, just like any other grammatical or stylistic rule there are loop-holes and exceptions to the rule. Future tense is a general rule of thumb, but if you are writing a sociological essay ? chances are you may need to write some of your introduction in past tense. Why?? Because chances are you will be writing a case study or a study on something that has already happened, but you still need to signpost where you are going.

Judge tosses investors' suit against Transocean

(AP) ? A federal judge in New York on Tuesday dismissed a lawsuit from investors who alleged top executives of Transocean Ltd. misled shareholders about safety problems in the months leading up to a catastrophic oil well blowout in the Gulf of Mexico.

On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald threw out a class-action suit against Transocean. The Swiss company leased the Deepwater Horizon rig to BP PLC to drill a deep-sea well off the Louisiana coast. The well blew out in April 2010, killing 11 workers, destroying the rig and causing the nation's worst offshore oil disaster.

Buchwald ruled Transocean did not mislead investors about problems with blowout preventers, human errors and equipment problems. Investors alleged company CEO Steven Newman concealed information about safety problems with Transocean's fleet of drilling rigs. The suit also named former CEO Robert Long as a defendant.

The judge said it was "difficult to discern" from the plaintiffs' lawsuit which "specific misrepresentations or omissions" the suit intended to bring under securities laws. The lead plaintiff was Danica Pension, a European pension fund based in Denmark. The lead lawyer for the plaintiffs did not immediately return messages seeking comment on Tuesday.

Transocean said in a statement that it was pleased with the ruling.

The plaintiffs focused on comments Newman made at three investor conference calls between August 2009 and July 2010.

In a conference call on Aug. 5, 2009, Newman told investors "a couple of human error incidents on drill floors" and a "handful of BOP (blowout preventer) problems" were anomalies that were not systemic. He said the problems were being taken care of "so they don't happen again." Newman was speaking of issues Transocean faced in the second quarter of 2009.

Newman again assured investors on Feb. 24, 2010, that the company was taking care of a few problems with equipment failures and human error.

The plaintiffs alleged that Transocean "was suffering from company-wide failures in safety and preventative maintenance" when Newman made these statements, the ruling said.

The plaintiffs charged that Newman again misled investors during a May 28, 2010 conference call when he said the Deepwater Horizon's blowout preventer was tested every week and was shown to be working properly shortly before the April blowout. Also, Newman told investors that the rig's safety equipment was working properly.

But the plaintiffs alleged that Newman's statements were misleading because the blowout preventer was tested at pressure levels lower than what it would be expected to operate in if there was a blowout. Buchwald said those tests were approved by federal offshore regulators ? the Minerals Management Service ? and that Newman had no obligation to "second-guess" regulators.

The judge ruled that Transocean disclosed safety concerns "to the market at various points in time." Buchwald noted that in April 2009, the company did not give executives safety-related bonuses due to two offshore deaths in 2008 and reported in the Beacon, its corporate magazine, in the fall of 2009 that it had hired Lloyd's Register "to conduct a major global evaluation" of safety processes and culture, the ruling said.

"The announcement of a third-party audit of the company's safety practices undercuts any notion that there was 'an intent to deceive' the market," Buchwald wrote.
