Well, you're right because the process sounds antiquated, but for them it's the most trustworthy way and they seem to fulfill their security policy. Every step like official announcements, bank statements or password changes that can not be displayed within the banking-portal, must use another (trustworthy) media. This can be snail mail, Post-Ident or in your turn you have to appear at their office. Cheers, Christian =========================================================== Dipl.-Ing.

Well, if we talk about Banks... Hypo Vereinsbank (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HypoVereinsbank) has kind of a strange security style: The online banking website will disable your login once you enter it 3 times wrong. Your login is your BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER. To re-enable it you have to go into one of their offices IN PERSON and identify yourself by ID card and then they will send your new password BY LETTER (not email). Now, PLEASE, when you go to their online banking site and run your one_script_to_block_them_all.py or whatever, PLEASE, skip my bank account, ok?

Fed up of two years ofbattling with them to fix issues any other bank would have fixed in seconds, things like XSS on login pages etc. Time to hit full disclosure with some of these issues in the hope they'll change their game and start to take their customers security seriously:I had to chuckle. The Spanish banks gave 100% mortgages to people who could just barely finance the interest at ultra-low rates. Now, they're taking back those houses and flats, evicting the owners (who can no longer pay) and putting them into rented apartments (for slightly less than the interest rates). The banks were bailed-out by the government, which has now got to be bailed-out by the EU. Do you honestly think that "customers" actually exist on the radar of those banks? Hell - who needs customers, when you can have a bail-out? _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
