Commercial transactions don't have the some rules as consumer transactions (and not required by financial institutions to cover the costs, kind of rule that consumer isn't at fault) ... so businesses would suethe banks over the losses. Eventually the federal reserve came out with a guidelines that businesses should have a dedicated PC that is only used for online banking and *NEVER* used for any other purpose (many of the exploits involved visiting websites that would install malware and compromise the PC) past posts mentioning commercial online bankiing http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2010f.html#6</a> Online Banking & Password Theft http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2010m.html#38</a> U.K. bank hit by massive fraud from ZeuS-based botnet http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2010m.html#82</a> Nearly $1,000,000 stolen electronically from the University of Virginia http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2010m.html#87</a> Nearly $1,000,000 stolen electronically from the University of Virginia http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2010n.html#9</a> 'Here you have' email worm spreads quickly http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2010n.html#47</a> ZeuS attacks mobiles in bank SMS bypass scam http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2011g.html#22</a> An online bank scam worthy of a spy novel http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2011g.html#48</a> Is the magic and romance killed by Windows (and Linux)? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2011h.html#4</a> 1st round in Internet Account Fraud World Cup: Customer 0, Bank 1, Attacker 300,000 http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2011h.html#65</a> US Business Banking Cybercrime Wave: Is 'Commercially Reasonable' Reasonable? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2011k.html#40</a> Banks blocking more fraudulent money transfers from hijacked business accounts http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2011m.html#40</a> ISBNs http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2012b.html#61</a> Banking malware a growing threat, as new variant of Zeus is detected http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2012b.html#71</a> Password shortcomings http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2012i.html#18</a> Zeus/SpyEye 'Automatic Transfer' Module Masks Online Banking Theft http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2012j.html#59</a> Bank Sues Customer Over ACH/Wire Fraud http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2012j.html#73</a> Is it time to consider a stand-alone PC for online banking? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2012j.html#94</a> Gordon Crovitz: Who Really Invented the Internet? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2012l.html#32</a> Use another browser - Kaspersky follows suit http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2012p.html#49</a> Regulator Tells Banks to Share Cyber Attack Information http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2014j.html#22</a> The SDS 92, its place in history? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2014j.html#98</a> Cybersecurity http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2015d.html#61</a> Western Union envisioned internet functionality http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2015e.html#42</a>The real story of how the Internet became so vulnerable http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2016h.html#99</a> PC Compromise and Internet Transactions http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2017d.html#92</a>Old hardware http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2017e.html#31</a>[CM] What was your first home computer?
