- Tsagadai 15y agoSouth Korean banks seem to be oblivious to security research and best practices. ActiveX plugins that install several buggy DLL libraries are only the tip of the iceberg. 64-bit IE fails to open most banks' websites. IE 9 does not work at all. I was even sent a codebook (it has a list of colour-coded numbers which hash to codes, on paper!) by my South Korean bank for internet banking. I thought it was a somewhat archaic practice but physical books of codes do constitute "something you have" for authentication. Then I discovered that my partner had the same book. I disabled internet banking after that.
