And banks spend a lot of money to minimize that; less affluent business won’t be able to properly deal with that.
- amelius 8y ago> And banks spend a lot of money to minimize that Any examples of that, relevant to a desktop bank website user? Do they sell antivirus solutions, or work with browser vendors to improve security? I suspect banks have some kind of money-back obligation when hacked, but curious how far that goes when a sizeable part of their customers is hacked.
