Bank Security Practices Making It Easier to Hack
From Black Hat and dark reading, an interesting article on how many new bank security mechanisms, designed to make hacking harder, actually make it easier.
On a related note: Bruce Schneier of Counterpane and crypto fame, has said the same thing for half a decade...solving authentication issues will not ultimately protect banks or bank customers. Banking trojans, which I've written on extensively, are man-in-the-end-node attack, and can, and do, easily bypass any of these authentication protections.
