 What banks should do
• Banks need to implement higher levels of security and
authentication for "high risk" transactions, "involving
access to customer information or the movement of
funds to other parties."
• Bank customers need more education and awareness of
security risks and procedures in order to use online
banking effectively.
• Banks should employ a combination of authentication
systems, such as passwords and biometric readers, or
PINs and longer passwords, rather than relying on any
"single" factor to validate a customer's identity.
 Staying Safe Online
• Never respond to an email, however authentic it looks,
that asks for personal or financial information.
• If you do want to change or update your organisation's
financial details, phone your bank or visit in person.
Never send this kind of information in an email.
• Install reliable anti-virus and anti-spyware software on
your computer and make sure it is continually updated.
• Establish what you should do in an emergency - for
instance, who you should contact if you're worried your
organisation might have become a victim of 'phishing' or
identity theft.
• Look out for any unexplained transactions on your
organisation's financial statements.
 Staying Safe Online
• Keep all of your organization's financial documents in a
secure place.
• Shred any documents that carry account or other secure
information.
• Make sure that your mailbox is secure.
• Report anything suspicious, including any loss or theft of
documents, to the police as quickly as possible.
• Maintain control over access to your computer, whether it
be at your home or office
• When you have completed a bank transaction, make
certain to log off to break the connection with the bank's
computer
• Never conduct banking transactions while multiple
browsers are open on your computer
