      I trust mine, for every transaction I have to input my pin + a code given by the site (and never the same one) into a unattached device, I then have to input another code given to me by the device. So I never enter my pin or any other personal data onto my computer.

        I fear that you have posted your interesting opinion in the wrong thread. I am cheesy enough without additions, thank you anyway. :)

          According to the report it's the seurity of individual PCs that is the problem here, not the banks' systems.

            So the moral of this story is: Don't open attachments in e-mails, don't enter credentials into websites without making sure they've got the right URL, yadda, yadda, and yadda. These friggin' scare stories piss me off. I have to enter three separate codes to be able to pay money out. "Passing those codes back to the creator" would be pointless, because they're generated on the spot, and are valid for only a few minutes -- but they wouldn't be "passed back to the creator", because I don't open attachments in e-mails, I don't enter credentials into websites without making sure they've got the right URL, yadda, yadda, and yadda. Web security really ain't rocket surgery.

            the one rule to remember is: Don't be f***in' stoopid!

              To make a transfer from my account to another account, I have to provide a code sent to my mailbox that has a lifespan of 5minutes, and another code sent by SMS. I trust on-line banking a lot.

                If you let you machine contract a key logger trojan then yep, its not secure. Unless your bank has a virtual keyboard for logging on with! :)

                        There were problems with somebody abusing my account (buying junk, changing addresses) and it happened a couple times even after a password and account name change. I had the bank up the security so every time I talk to them on the phone I must give them a master password before they will make any changes. Since then, they have never once asked for that password while talking on the phone. :doh: Not a fan of bank "security".
