I've got news for you, SSL has been broken since 2009  cool2.gif .
It was presented at our local HITB, much earlier than that at Defcon, Ruxcon, KeySecWest etc.

Here's a detail technical explanation courtesy of Techrepublic: SSL Really Broken This Time

In South Korea, the government has banned the use of SSL for banking as it does more harm than threat.
Instead, Microsoft has to made its browser friendly to PKI and Korean government only mandates the use of Windows OS and IE.
Every time MS releases a new browser, South Korea needs a lead time for them to configure the PKI.

conclusion, if you doubt it'll be safe, use home wifi instead of public.

AFAIK, as long as u keep your phone number secured, you'll be fine. They wont have access thru your phone number and just follow the safety features from the bank itself.

Even Maybank2u has improved their security by asking random security questions for certain transfer (I think for high amount transfers) together with the TAC code as well.

yep, home wifi is better. try to avoid using public wifi to do business transaction or even login to Facebook and twitter. Nowadays, anyone can easily hack to your Facebook or Twitter if they're in the same Wifi or Ethernet as yours. All they need is Firefox + addon called 'Firesheep'.

Online banking service provider like M2U, CIMB are always looking into beefing up their security, whether it's their user facing services like M2U or their internal servers etc. Fact is, the attackers works 24/7/365 around the world to find loopholes, and there will never be a 100% solid proof. Its always a who's on top of who first.

Meanwhile, users themselves have to take precaution, always always keeping abreast of whats the latest threat.

just make sure you're on secure internet connection and virus/keylogger free computer. avoid internet banking on Cybercafe or on public wifi. moreover with TAC code it's almost impossible for them to do any transactions without it

Hi I'm doing reading on Digital Signatures and would appreciate if you can provide me a source that the Koreans are using PKI? Thanks.

Never mind I found it thanks for the tip!
