Banks are fighting back - using YOUR personal info...

Banks Are Using Your Secretly Obtained Personal Data to Battle Cyber Heists
Oct 28, 2014 — Financial institutions are under siege by cyber criminals scouring “secure” data files and mounting assaults on every point of entry to your assets. Online banking, ATM locations, bank lobbies and even phone-based customer service are all at risk. But banks are fighting back in an effort to curb the rampant rip-offs, even if it means taking initiatives involving your most personal data -- without your permission.

The latest tool in the arsenal of weapons used to combat financial fraud is biometrics. The technology deployed goes beyond fingerprint verification and retina scans. While that level of security is readily available, it’s not necessarily a convenient manner in which to address all the issues of intrusion. Of course, ATMs and mobile devices could easily implement fingerprint matches but some customer touch points are not quite that tactile. However, without your knowledge, major banks – among them U.S. Bank, Barclays, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo – have quietly put into place a unique biometric security system to help guard against fraud. And it involves voice-recognition technology.

Gary Davis, chief “consumer security evangelist” at McAfee, the online security provider, writes in a recent company blog post that cyber crooks have begun calling financial institutions posing as customers, and attempting to answer personally-identifying challenge questions in order to gain access to your accounts. But banks are using your voice to block the hack attacks. “Called ‘voiceprinting,’ this technology is aimed at detecting the bad guys (rather than confirming you are actually who you say you are),” Davis writes. “So how have banks obtained these voice samples to begin with? Well, it goes a little something like this: ‘This call may be monitored and recorded…’”

The Associated Press reports that 65 million voices have been harvested by biometric vendors so far. One company claims the efforts have already resulted in a 90% reduction in phone-based fraud attempts. Nuance Communications, a provider of voice technology services, surveyed consumer attitudes regarding current security processes. No surprise: 85% said they are frustrated with existing ID verification systems. More than two-thirds of the respondents (67%) reported having 11 usernames and passwords to remember and half (49%) said the whole process is time consuming and cumbersome. And many (24%) don’t like giving out personal information in order to be verified.

Rather than remembering long strings of alpha-numeric passwords, voice recognition technology may evolve from being a behind-the-scenes deterrent to a common consumer preference. “My voice is my password,” could be a phrase more of us soon use to protect our financial data on the phone, with a mobile app or online.

Around 100,000 Hungarians rally for democracy as internet tax hits nerve
Tue Oct 28, 2014 - About 100,000 Hungarians rallied on Tuesday night to protest at a planned tax on data traffic and the broader course of Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government they saw as undermining democracy and relations with European Union peers.

It was by far the largest protest since his center-right government took power in 2010 and pursued moves to redefine many walks of life, drawing accusations of creeping authoritarianism, although it was re-elected by a landslide this year. Orban's government has imposed special taxes on the banking, retail, energy and telecommunications sectors to keep the budget deficit in check, jeopardizing profits in some parts of the economy and unnerving international investors.

Ten of thousands of Hungarians march across the Elisabeth Bridge during a protest against new tax on Internet data transfers in centre of Budapest

The Internet data levy idea was first floated in the 2015 tax code submitted to the Central European country's parliament last week, triggering objections from Internet service providers and users who felt it was anti-democratic. The crowd, which was organized by a Facebook-based social network and appeared to draw mostly well-heeled professionals, marched through central Budapest demanding the repeal of the planned tax and the ouster of Orban.

Many protesters held up makeshift signs that read "ERROR!" and "How many times do you want to skin us?" Zsolt Varady, an internet entrepreneur and founder of a now-defunct Hungarian social network iwiw.hu, told the crowd that the tax threatened to undermine Internet freedoms. "Between 2006 and 2006 iwiw motivated many people to get an internet subscription," Varady said. "People were willing to pay for the service because they knew, saw and felt that their lives were becoming better... The Internet tax threatens the further growth of the Internet as well as freedom of information."

'Cyber events' jump by 10% over previous year...

Number of U.S. government 'cyber incidents' jumps in 2015
Mon Mar 21, 2016 - The U.S. government was hit by more than 77,000 "cyber incidents" like data thefts or other security breaches in fiscal year 2015, a 10 percent increase over the previous year, according to a White House audit.

Part of the uptick stems from federal agencies improving their ability to identify and detect incidents, the annual performance review from the Office and Management and Budget said. The report, released on Friday, defines cyber incidents broadly as a violation or imminent threat of violation of computer security policies, acceptable use policies, or standard computer security practices. Only a small number of the incidents would be considered as significant data breaches.

National security and intelligence officials have long warned that cyber attacks are among the most serious threats facing the United States. President Barack Obama asked Congress last month for $19 billion for cyber security funding across the government in his annual budget request, an increase of $5 billion over the previous year. The government's Office of Personnel Management was victim of a massive hack that began in 2014 and was detected last year. Some 22 million current and former federal employees and contractors in addition to family members had their Social Security numbers, birthdays, addresses and other personal data pilfered in the breach.

That event prompted the government to launch a 30-day cyber security sprint to boost cyber security within each federal agency by encouraging adoption of multiple-factor authentication and addressing other vulnerabilities. Despite unprecedented improvements in securing federal information resources malicious actors continue to gain unauthorized access to, and compromise, federal networks, information systems, and data, the report said.

the newest technology a few of my banks are using for debit and credit cards is the ability to set my cards to page me on my cell phone when a purchase is made, and these are real time, when I use a card at the store, I get paged a couple seconds later.... add that with the ability to disabled cards from your cell, this could really take a bite out of credit card crimes

In March in Australia we had malware that circumvented the two step authentication by layering a second screen over your banking mobile app.
It was an android problem only and also only when users downloaded apps not from playstore.

Sophisticated malware detected that steals online banking passwords, thwarts text authentication
