Banks and Financial Institutions
The Problem:
There is no way that a customer can be certain this is your bank’s website.
Browsers can easily be forced to display misleading URL information. The web URL cannot be seen and bears no relation to your bank’s domain (www.yourbank.com), therefore your brand identity has been eliminated.
If your customer is duped into going to the wrong site, it’s too late. Firewalls, virus protection, Verisign certificates, etc. can not stop your customer from going to the wrong place.
Secure internet banking requires authenticated communication between a bank and it's customers. Email is not secure, and is often automated communication from websites. Your customer doesn't really know where it came from.
Since bogus emails are received on the customer’s PC, they bypass firewalls and security devices installed on a website.
There is no security: the door is wide open!
What the scammers do:
1. Prepare a website that appears identical to the your bank’s site.
2. Send email to a targeted local list that entices your customer to go to the site.
3. Collect customer information.
A significant and unknown number of your customers will visit the scammer's site.
The Risk: Liability
Can your bank risk the bad publicity and loss of credibility as a result of possible lawsuits?
Protecting your bank's website does not protect your cuctomers from being fooled into going to a scammer's website.
Providing authenticated email communication decreases your bank's liability.
