Internet banking: it gets worse
It looks to us like the banks may have surreptitiously introduced new requirements that will make it harder for customers to retrieve any losses from Internet banking.

Oh, and if that weren't enough, would you believe that these days eavesdroppers don't have to bother installing a keylogger to find out what you're typing on your PC. Researchers at the University of Berkeley can work out what you're typing, with 96 per cent accuracy, just by listening to the sound of the keystrokes.
