You'd be surprised at how common that was. I've known two other financial orgs that scraped Yahoo as a critical part of their investment system...

  I know individuals / hobbyists who do this, which is fine. Financial orgs should know better, especially if it is actually "critical." How did this get through any sort of review? How do you know Yahoo is authoritative?

    That assumes there is a review to get through, rather than it being an Excel file with a few hundred macros...

    Hobbyists are usually more diligent than professionals because they care. If anyone cared about the product it wouldn't have been a spreadsheet.
