Reports suggesting the Westpac bank website had been "hijacked" by an overseas "nuisance site" appear to be unsubstantiated.
Westpac has introduced an on-screen keypad for Internet banking sign-in, in what the bank says is an effort to combat key-stroke logging fraud.
US-based gaming Web site, The Game Monsters, has been implicated in the latest of round of phishing scams targeting Westpac customers, according to security experts.
Should Australians be worried that NZ bank customers are being used as "lab rats" to see if users could be made liable if they fall victim to online fraud?
The online banking system of Westpac was crippled several times and its customers were the target of a phishing attack but the bank has denied the two incidents were related.
Security weaknesses in Microsoft's server and browser software are taking their toll on Australian Internet banking sites.
Phishing complaints from Westpac customers have massively declined since the height of the hoax last year, according to the bank.
Individuals have been warned about the threat of identity theft for years. Now it's the turn of businesses.
Sceptical that Australians are targeted by cybercrime? Late last year the Australian Computer Emergency Response Team (AusCERT) was asked to repatriate hundreds of Commonwealth Bank customer credentials which had been stolen via the ZeuS trojan.
Do you think banks and financial institutions in Australia are doing enough to protect consumers from "phishing expeditions"?
