This being NatWest the penny probably still hasn’t dropped, and they’re probably trying to get him arrested for “hacking our internet”. I doubt they’ll actually implement a change. The general approach in the UK has been to not blame banks at all for poor security, and to punish anyone who finds a security issue severely.

Last time I checked, in-branch they were still using Internet Explorer to visit an http (not https) site on their intranet to launch via Java Web Start a thin client to log in to their (I assume) mainframe to actually do things. There's a number of places in that chain of events that something could go nastily wrong, despite them owning every part of that chain.
