UK high-street banks accused of "shockingly bad" online security

Over half of the UK's high-street banks and building societies use outdated SSL security that means their online customers can be attacked by low-skilled cyber-criminals, and “they don't seem to care”, according to security firm Xiphos Research.

Birmingham-based Xiphos checked 22 UK-owned retail banks and found 50 percent still use vulnerable Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates despite problems known about for months and even years. A further 79 percent of 25 foreign-owned retail banks operating in the UK, and 51 percent of the UK's top 37 building societies, are also insecure.

If it takes a 'halfwit' to understand that the bankers gambled and lost and it was the British public who are still paying for the damage they caused, then YES i am a 'Halfwit'. If you can not or do not want to see this, that is for you, but facts are facts and to see the tory party protect their pals in banking is a disgrace, fact.

aussiedonnie, the debt clock is a fraud for the less well imformed i'm sorry to say.Its actually a measure of money in the economy. You are part of the economy, so that money benefits you. The greater the “debt,” the healthier the economy.

Who cares about the debt? People like Capitalism so debt will continue swelling.

Export gloom deals new blow to George Osborne’s £1 trillion target


Why are you surprised George. As a country we have no strategy. We are all to eager to see our best companies sold off or merged. Think BAE a few years ago. Where we once had the skill set for example Newcular power we now have to import. We started the industrial revolution with trains now we mainly import. The list goes on and you wonder why our balance of payments are so pitifully poor. George, following the last Labour governments policy of deindustrialisation isn't going to cut it.

How do you predict 2016 for banks? Here is how my illuminati guru sees it: reach for the door, open the door bail out of the door. Open up a short (plus500 maybe), there will be dead cat bounces along the way, try and ride them. Ultimately its a bearish trend. Good luck for 2016 gentleman and trade safe !
