post in thread here a yr ago (1jul07) about financial institutions attempting some (disastrous) deployments in the 99/00 time-frame ... and then instead of taking blame for deployment problems ... there was quickly spreading opinion that hardware
tokens weren't practical in the consumer market place http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/aadsm27.htm#34 The bank fraud blame game as noted in another post ... the disastrous failures were somewhat a case of institutional knowledge not permeating different part of the organizations.banking conferences in the mid-90s were attributing the existing online banking migration to the internet in large part motivated by significant customer support
problems with serial port modems (mostly with the serial port part). http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/aadsm27.htm#38 The bank fraud blame game that even if a little bit of the experience form the earlier online banking programs had carried over into the later hardware token deployments ... much of the deployment problems could have been averted. In any case, the claim could be made that the industry is still attempting to recover from those disasters. a couple other posts on the same subject in other threads:http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007n.html#65 Poll: oldest computer thing you still use http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007t.html#22 'Man in the browser' is new threat to online banking
