Fraud Standing Firmly in the Way of Online Banking

In my ongoing onslaught of recent stories about the lack of security involved with online banking, and the repercussions of such, I bring you this story from yesterday's Crains Manchester. 

BTW:  This is just the beginning of the fallout.  It will get worse and more people and more businesses will pull back from online banking because of security fears.  Just read today's postings if you disagree.  Or at least read between the lines. 

There's only one way to secure financial transactions and that is outside the browser space. 

It's what we at HomeATM do.  We're the FIRST and ONLY company in this whole wide World to design, patent and manufacture a World Wide Web PCI 2.0 Certified PIN Entry Device.

More Good News for Financial Institutions: We've got our cost down to the point whereby you could "give it away."  The ROI could be as little as 30 days.   Want to find out more?  I'd be happy to show you how our device can not only provide ehance login security with 2FA, but also enable your online banking customers to securely pay their bills, transfer money, and make secure E2E 3DES Encrypted, Protected by DUKPT e-commerce transactions.

“Bosses are suspicious of online banking because this key control is often unwittingly removed when access to online facilities is delegated to another person,” said Simon Kite, a partner in the Manchester office of accountancy firm Saffery Champness.

“The shocking thing is that banks will only compensate a business for losses if the directors can show the bank has been negligent with its online banking facility.
