mehmeh12 · 2009-11-25 19:58:08

So tell why is it that a well know established Irish bank uses only low grade 128RC bit encryption on its online banking facility? i mean even my free gmail account has 256bit military grade AES for fracks sake.

Their back-end system are still running on AS400's
Can the corporate client connect and sends the data in plain-text so I think 128RC is the least of their worries....
