At present, New Zealand banks (mostly Australian owned) settle just
about every case of internet banking fraud (but not mules), but are
wanting customers to have an an incentive to take proper care. The
downside for the banks is that people may be put off internet banking
(some do not trust it because of viruses, worms, etc).
IMO the banks should hand out to everyone a specially adapted Ubuntu
CD for internet banking - unfortunately a winmodem driver may be a
bit of a sticking point for dial-up customers.
