Thanks James. One of the proposals for the new EFT Code is that
users
be liable for all losses caused by infected computers. My point is
going to be that this is inappropriate as long as the banks do not
restrict connections from older systems that are known to be
insecure.
My 2c, but isn't that just lazyness of the banks part. the
getting around
key
loggers shouldn't be that hard. Banks in US have started to hand
out 2
token
authentication devices. IMB provides you with a encoding matrix
for your
password so the same key combination doesn't always log you in
I believe Bendigo bank offer 2 factor auth also, but charge $15 for
the
tokens.
I know I'd prefer to have a token and would even purchase it if need
be. It would be more of a benefit for my folks or as we say people
less tech savy about the problems when do internet banking. Atleast
then I know they'd be safe.
