New Zealand: Banks Suppress Info About Security of Online Banking
New Zealand's mainstream banks have suppressed information about the level of concern about the security of online banking.More here.
Polling company Neilsen, which conducts surveys for the Bankers' Association, today published a news release showing the uptake of online banking, but when asked about security questions, spokesman Donald Sheppard said banks didn't want that information released.
"The banks we work with didn't really want that going to press because it's a little bit of a can of worms for them," he told NZPA.
"People are naturally concerned about online banking and that kind of thing and there's been a lot of info in the press about all these scams and phishing and all of that.
"We do monitor it... but our clients are the four main banks and they didn't want that going out into the public arena because they didn't want another song and dance about that," he said.
Note: I can't image why people might be concerned? -ferg
