@Rad! I agree about the Phishing side. But even the author notes <quote> This doesn't protect against phishing ... Well, if you separate email and browsing from banking, then it does ... a lot of readers seemed to have missed that. also, while the FBI director talked about phishing, his isn't the only threat facing online banking users. One thing that using a LiveCD for banking does is create a policy ... so if you ONLY visit your bank via the LiveCD OS, you're putting in place a policy that says you DON'T visit your bank via email links. Security is, after all, 90% good practice. </quote> On Thu, Oct 15, 2009 at 11:13 AM, Rad! <conradakunga@gmail.com> wrote:
I agree 100% that banks are doing a disservice to customers by only catering to certain browsers.
But i disagree 100% with the notion that changing operating systems will somehow make you immune to phishing. How??! Phishing is not a browser or operating system problem.

Me thinks Kenyan banks should read this article: http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/?p=5813&tag=nl.e550
I am yet to find a Kenyan Internet banking site that is fully accessible from any other browser except Internet Explorer. Banks don't seem to realize that there are other operating system out there aside from MS Windows. Anyone on this list had any issues with Internet banking sites and Mozilla or Safari?
