Hi, ppl. I'm pen-testing a home-banking system. My client has a doubt and we basically disagree in some level: is the client's machine of the responsibility of the bank? I mean, if I can break the client's machine and steal useful information from it (passwords, account's data, etc.), is the bank responsible, having in mind that it's programmers can fix the problem (they just don't do it 'couz it is costly)? Let me hear what you think.
I would say that the bank is responsible ONLY if they are pushing any sort of software component to the clients machine and that software component has a flaw that allows attackers to gain access to the customer's data either on the server or the client or otherwise comprise the customers security. then again, im not familiar with the particular home banking system you are targeting so YMMV -ivan -- "Understanding.
