I never really worried about heart bleed with CBA as I figured if they were stung by it our consumer banking laws would pretty much effectively ensure that the bank wore the costs (at least until they could pass it on to a merchant). The banks are in a position where they need to promote internet banking (it keeps their costs down) and the small costs they incur on providing a security guarantee pretty much ensure as a consumer your going to be OK.
On the other hand the ridiculous response is moronic. Someone needs to loose their job over that. Repeating a canned answer that fails to answer the question is the height of arrogance and adds nothing to the conversation.
If they don't know then they need to say that it is being dealt with by another team and the information will be available at a (defined) later date. In the mean time people can rest assured that their money is secure and CBA will guarantee it against these and other threats.
What a way to turn a great feature (their security guarantee) into a negative by treating people as mushrooms.
