February 10, 10 by Mark75Online accounts security: users are the weakest link
February 08, 10 by Mark75Security is extremely important in an online bank account, to the point that some users worried about it avoid using an online bank, even when it would be cheaper and more effective for their needs. Yet, users appear to be the weakest link in the “security chain”, since quite often they do not pay enough attention to their behaviour.
A Trusteer research shows that a significant number of online bank customers, uses the same password to access the online account and less critical services, such as forums. This may appear a minor sin, but it paves the way to identity thefts, since non-critical website do not protect data in the same way as banks do. So, it would be possible to steal passwords from a forum and use them to access a bank account — and remember that this kind of attacks are conducted automatically and in wide scale, so the odd are relevant.
The lesson is the same of the one we often highlighted for finance in general: surely there is the need to improve things, but the user/customer must improve his knowledge and pay more attention on what he is doing.
