I have worked for a couple banks in the past and I know the challenges and stress that these guys face. I wonder...what is a good solution? It's far too easy to cast aspersions on the security that various banks have in place (I should know, I'm perfectly guilty of that). Anyone have any thoughts they would like to share that would be a positive improvment? Thanks for your comments Igor. I appreciate it. cheers @ Igor

@All

You know, I could gripe all day about internet banking but, I think a better approach would be…what works? I have worked for a couple banks in the past and I know the challenges and stress that these guys face. I wonder…what is a good solution? It’s far too easy to cast aspersions on the security that various banks have in place (I should know, I’m perfectly guilty of that).

Anyone have any thoughts they would like to share that would be a positive improvment?

Thanks for your comments Igor. I appreciate it.

cheers

Interestingly enough, the authentication method compromised at ABN AMRO was disconnected smartcard readers, guess what Barclays is rolling out to their UK customers this year? - yes, correct... disconnected smartcard readers... Deploying readers to all their customers (in the UK) is definitely not cheap and shows that budget alone isn't always an issue....
