Who's Really Responsible In Online Banking Fraud?

TheRealStyro writes "According to this article a Miami businessman is suing a bank because of a fraudulent fund transfer possibly caused by the coreflood virus/trojan. He claims the bank is responsible because the bank failed to protect him from known online banking risks. It is obvious that this guy should have had an anti-virus package active, but shouldn't the bank have questioned such a large transfer to a republic of the former Soviet Union (these republics having gained the unfortunate notoriety of being dens of villainy and hackerdom)?"

Actually HERE'S the biggest bank fraud happening

[i_want_you_to_throw_]

to YOU! The fact that when you deposit a check in your account and the bank won't credit it immediately. You know what I'm talking about....when a bank will wait for five business days to credit your account even thought they got the money in about .75 seconds.

This is especially true now that Check 21 is in place.
