Bank Security in Tatters

The Wowster on bank security being hacked

Banks security is not quite what it used to be. Certainly it is no longer safe to leave your money with them.

What with casino banking and hackers cracking new online banking, where can you put your money?

The hackers target is Britain’s 25million internet banking users and there seems to be little defence against them.

The brand new calculator-style keypads have been raided successfully much to the surprise of the banks.

The new pin systems were supposed to beat crime but brand new viruses could add to the millions stolen last year.

The malicious bugs can pose as internet bank pages, fooling unwitting account holders to hand over their money.

Another one is tricking users into taking part in training for an “upgraded security system.”

Now where is that loose floorboard?

The Wowster is the pen name of Nathan Goldberg, wowdewow publisher and founder.
