Time for an online banking security revolution

Here we are in 2009, buffeted by economic turmoil, under siege by organised online criminals, and seeing a mega “boom” in only one true sector: the underground economy.

Although today’s Internet security packages are better, faster and lower impact than ever, most still fail miserably when it comes to some very important topics: secure online authentication (especially when doing online banking), protection against unknown types of malware, and protection against rootkits.

So bad has the online crime problem become that criminals are enjoying what the rest of the world is not: a massive and lucrative boom, making the bust the rest of us are experiencing an even worse proposition.
