History
Sampo Bank traces its origins back to 1887, Originally the Finnish state-owned Post and Savings Bank, which accepted deposits from the public at its post offices. In 1999, the state-owned bank was merged with Sampo PLC's insurance business to form the Sampo Group. The banking unit was later acquired by Danske Bank in 2007, while the Sampo Group retained the insurance business.
In March 2008, Sampo Bank was migrated onto the parent's IT platform. This temporarily caused both security and availability issues, during which an unknown individual was able to inject "an image of Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf, the legendary Iraqi information minister, onto the e‑banking site (...). This guest star was not chosen at random, but refers to the bank having repeatedly denied more subtly reported vulnerability examples".

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“We may pretend that we’re basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.”
—Terry Hands (b. 1941)
“To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
