Attacks
Most of the attacks on online banking used today are based on deceiving the user to steal login data and valid TANs. Two well known examples for those attacks are ““phishing”” and pharming. Cross-site scripting and keylogger/Trojan horses can also be used to steal login information. A method to attack signature based online banking methods is to manipulate the used software in a way, that correct transactions are shown on the screen and faked transactions are signed in the background.
I already knew that but Do you think is it secure enough to online bank… like according to what I have my computer is secure or only slightly secure.
I already have phising protection it comes with vista
Just install NoScript inside Firefox on an account where you can Drop your full admin rights. and you can go to any bank online anytime, just check where you are when you log in, and look at the address, also good if you know the local IP of your bank with ShowIP add-on for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/file/24344/showip-0.8.06build0210-fx+mz.xpi
That’s it, and your security program formula suits you fine,
While I agree that in the recent past Spybot-S&D had gotten a little less effective, the latest update greatly improves it’s detection and protection. I would not be so quick to discount it if I were you.
Hi, I think so. In fact, I have less number of security apps on my pc than you have listed and do online banking/shopping.
One program I use though is roboform for passwords ect.
