    i believe that they were cyber attacked and all our money was stolen and they have to put it down to human error so as not to scare people into removing their money and believing that our banking system is inadequate.

    Believe it based on facts/evidence

    or believe it like people believe in god?

    It looks as if they are trying to create a run on the banks.

    They are also coming out with fear mongering stuff about "cyber attacks".

    THEY again.

    And still no idea of who THEY are.

    But what is interesting is that if steps are taken to prevent a run on the banks, that will be viewed as sinister too. I've said it to you before RTDH, don't you think it's a big problem with your worldview that even if two completely opposite things happen, you still interpret it as supporting your position?

    More here and it looks as if they are trying to create situations to justify tighter internet controlls, censorship and the roll out of e_signitures. :)

    "Evan's warning speech comes in the wake of Italian, German and Dutch banks being targeted in a €60m euro cyber bank heist.

    Evans warned that internet vulnerabilities are being taken advantage of by criminals as well as states. He says that it is likely terrorist will use cyber vulnerabilities to attack infrastructures in the future."

    Ok. So AIB announce new banking charges to take effect from May 2012.

    Massive exodus of customers from AIB to Ulster Bank, as they are the last remaining bank that do not have limits and conditions on what your balance and transactions may be to avail of free banking.

    June 2012.
    Unprecedented and ongoing problem now with Ulster Bank. Inability to access up to date accounts, make certain payments etc. Problem still not resolved. Unprecedented time delay in sorting this problem.

    What has gone wrong? Is it really just a coincedence this has happened after the exodus of AIB Customers? As for evidence of said evidence, just start with the banking threads here on boards. My new account manager when I moved accounts from AIB to Ulster Bank said they were beyond overwhelmed with the transfer of accounts.

    Is it more likely that one of the biggest banks in the UK ruined its own reputation so AIB could pick up some new customers in little Ireland?

    Foolishly I haven't followed this story as closely as I should have.

    Have Ulster Bank actually acknowledged what the glitch was or will that have to remain confidential on securiy grounds?
