[AuckLUG] internet banking

Anthony,

Join the NZOSS Mailing list and post something.

The short version IMHO is that its all very well for the banks to make 
threats like that, but its a big grey line - who determines what is secure 
and what isn't?  And whats a 'reasonable attempt' at securing your system?

Its going to cost them quite a bit to have any cases forensically proven 
one way or the other, I think, and 'innocent until proven guilty' comes 
into play as well.

If it scares a few more people into safing up their home systems, then 
cool.. but honestly.. good luck to them trying to enforce it.

Mark.
