Bank != Secure (Score:2)
Some institutions that need to be secure get it, most do not. You quickly come to realise that a lot of so called "security" is actually "security theatre". It sort of looks secure and that's more important that being secure.
I'm no banking or security expert but it is very clear that lots of things that should be secure are not well done. Sometimes it's because real security is hard and it may put off customers, sometimes it because the marketing people are in charge and sometimes I can't fathom why it's done...
Most Windows machine get infected at one time or another. Ignoring some of the weakness in the design the main reason is that most Windows users do not know what they are doing - they have not the faintest clue. Is it any wonder that web site are insecure...
