Is Online Banking's "Perfect Storm" Brewing?

Bank Info Security's Linda McGlasson's take on online banking sounds vaguely familiar.  A perfect storm IS brewing and if  banks want to safely maneuver their way through they will need better security on board.  Our technology eliminates typing, thus the threat posed from phishing. 



Online banking malware recognizes when you visit a financial institution and keystroke logs your online banking credentials.



With our system in place, the online bank server recognizes when you visit and rather than asking the you to type in your credentials, it would instruct you to do the same trusted process to withdraw cash at an ATM. 



Swipe your card and Enter their PIN.  Existing Cards, Existing PINs, Existing Bank Rails.  No Skimmers...No Hidden Cameras.  That's protection.  Even against Trojans.

The Perfect Storm is Brewing

March 1, 2010 - Linda McGlasson

There's a storm brewing on the horizon for the financial services industry, and it may be as devastating as "The Perfect Storm."



I was talking with one of my security forensics contacts, and he related a bit of insight that made me stop and think.



"Why is it," he told me, "that a bank will weigh the scales of risk and consider it better to take $1 million in losses rather than spend $2 million to fix its security and stop the fraud in the first place?" 

The 'perfect storm' is coming, fueled by the public opinion that their banks aren't doing enough to protect them.

Trust on Trial: Online Banking Industry Awaits Comerica/EMI Lawsuit on Phishing

Bank Info Security posted a story suggesting that the Comerica/EMI lawsuit will bring security to the forefront.  It's about time.  Usernames and Passwords should have been eliminated long ago.  We say it's time to authenticate the online banking session the same way you authenticate an ATM transaction.  Swipe your Card and Enter Your PIN.  Talk about secure.  Our technology 3DES DUKPT End-to-End-Encrypts the data at the mag-head thus preventing the data from EVER being in the clear.  If it's trusted to dispense $200.00 at 2:00 in the morning 2000 miles away from home, it can be trusted to authenticate the online banking session.



In fact, it's even safer.  No threats from skimming devices or hidden cameras come into play.  By eliminating typing you eliminate the behavior that makes for a phishing environment.  What good would it do to "lure" a consumer and tell them to type their username and password if they banked at an institution that instructed them to swipe their card and enter their PIN?   Want to be the leader in online banking?  Be the leader in online banking security first.  The worlds only PCI 2.0 Certified PIN Entry Device designed specifically for eCommerce use. 

Trust on Trial: The 5 Lessons Learned from the Comerica Bank Lawsuit

Industry Experts: 'This Litigation Raises the Stakes'

Banking/security leaders continue to debate the merits of the lawsuit between Dallas-based Comerica Bank and its customer, Experi-Metal Inc. (EMI), a Michigan-based metal supply company that claims the bank exposed its clients to phishing attacks. But already industry analysts say there are some key lessons learned that other institutions can draw from this case. Read Entire Article

Executive Director’s Letter

Dear members and friends of the Alliance,

February 2010 has been an active month on many fronts for the U.S. smart card industry. It has been so busy, we couldn’t stop long enough to get you the February monthly newsletter until early March! What has been so important to keep everyone busy? The answer is summed up in three letters–EMV. Fresh off the heavily viewed webinar (over 317 viewers) that the Smart Card Alliance presented in January, Top Ten Reasons U.S. Should Consider EMV, it seems as if the discussion really started to heat up in February.



The month began with an announcement that some people feared might shake the confidence of the entire payments industry. Researcher Ross Anderson and his colleagues at Cambridge University declared that “chip & PIN was broken” as a result of the discovery of a surprise flaw in the way EMV chip cards communicate with chip & PIN terminals when offline PIN verification is requested. Anderson and his U.K. security experts were deemed heroes by the hacker community, but their claims that this flaw was a serious problem for EMV issuers were quickly rebuked by the U.K. Card Association, EMVCo and other industry experts. However, the report raised attention about the prospect of chip cards in the U.S. The fact that this attack did not involve the security of the chip itself and that this fraud is also detectable by the industry’s systems, did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm among U.S. industry stakeholders for either contact or contactless EMV chip for the U.S. market.

Prepaid Cards and the Transit Industry

For the past several years, transit agencies have been moving away from cash-based fare collection systems to contactless smart card-based systems. In most cases, the cards issued have been closed loop payment cards; that is, cards that can only be used to pay transit fares. Recently, in an effort to both reduce the costs associated with administering these systems and make the systems more convenient for customers, transit agencies are considering accepting contactless bank cards at points of entry, eliminating the need for customers to buy a transit-specific card.

As banks continue the process of converting credit and debit cards to include contactless features, a large number of transit riders will be able to use these new cards on transit systems. However, transit agencies have a long-standing mandate to serve all constituencies in their service areas. Any movement to adopt financial industry products, such as bank cards, would therefore require that all riders be able to obtain such a card conveniently. Because some segments of a transit agency’s ridership may not qualify for a credit or debit card or may be uninterested in establishing a relationship with a bank, transit agencies should consider promoting the use of prepaid cards that can operate like a bank card but be available to anyone.

One of the Mobile Banking application's newest features gives users the ability to securely access their enrolled financial accounts from more than 3,700 financial institutions using a single login PIN number on their mobile device, in addition to the secure access they previously had to financial institutions working with Firethorn.  Once logged in, consumers can check their financial account balances, see their latest transactions, and track if payments have cleared.  Financial institutions providing integrated Firethorn services may offer additional transactional capabilities, such as bill pay and funds transfer, as well as the ability to receive and view rewards and offers.  A full list of providers is available at www.mobilebanking.com/providers.

EMV and Transit Chip Payment Gaining Momentum in U.S

Smart Card Alliance 2010 Payments Summit Highlights

PRINCETON JUNCTION, N.J., MARCH 1, 2010 – Contactless payment is now the de facto standard for U.S. transit fare collection systems, and will likely become a principal market driver for the expansion of bank-issued contactless cards. But that is just one of many factors building interest in the United States around chip cards for payments, according to experts presenting at the Smart Card 3rd Annual Payments Summit. The event was held February 23rd – 25th, 2010 in Salt Lake City, Utah.



Contactless in Transit



Contactless fare systems installed by U.S. transit operators will help pave the way for broader contactless acceptance here and elsewhere in the world.

• Charlie Craven, vice president, American Express: "Transit can be a great help to drive acceptance of contactless around the world. Daily use of the cards in transit will help consumers understand the benefits of contactless." He also cited an American Express study that showed there are 118 contactless or mobile pilots worldwide.


• Des Docherty, vice president, Visa, pointed out that in New York City all 13,000 taxicabs accept contactless and over the next few years all of the MTA buses and transit systems will too, concluding: "If I'm a merchant within that footprint, doesn't it make sense for me now to start implementing?"


• Oliver Manahan, vice president, MasterCard: "We have 12 U.S. airports deploying contactless PayPass acceptance." MasterCard has issued 70 million PayPass cards worldwide, most of them in the U.S.

Representatives from transit agencies in Toronto, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Utah, San Francisco Bay Area, and New York City reported on their current contactless fare collection systems and plans. Steve Frazzini, chief officer of AFC program management, New York City Transit, reported that an expanded open payments pilot that will include New York City Transit, PATH and New Jersey transit is targeted to start mid-year and will include a service area that includes 1.4 million riders.



Mobile Payments

Mobile payments are very exciting to everyone, including retailers, and is regarded as another important driver that will continue expanding the contactless market. Retailers are motivated by the other mobile applications that complement mobile payment such as coupons, loyalty programs and location-based services that drive people into their locations.

• Mohammad Khan, ViVOTech: “The Holy Grail will be when tens of millions of NFC mobile phones show up in the U.S. The whole industry will move then. That won't happen over the next 12 months, but it will absolutely happen over the next 36 months."


• Jennifer Garcia, Discover Financial Services, reported on the successful test of Discover Zip contactless stickers and said there's no reason to wait for NFC phones: “Our pilot confirmed stickers are a simple and easy bridge solution to the NFC logjam.”


• Dave Wentker, head of proximity payments, Visa: “The future of NFC is bright.”

International Traveler EMV Card



Several industry experts predicted that the next U.S. chip-based bank card would be an EMV card for international travelers who increasingly find situations where they cannot use their magnetic stripe card when abroad, particularly in Europe. 



Merchant Acceptance



Merchant acceptance of contactless cards today, and their receptiveness to eventually using chip cards for security reasons, were actively discussed topics in several sessions.



Dodd Roberts, president of the Merchant Advisory Group (MAG), an organization of large U.S. retailers, made a strongly reasoned call to action for all of the stakeholders to sit together and finalize a strategy. Focusing on security, Roberts argued that retailers are willing to invest, but what is holding them back is confidence in a technology roadmap that has an end point agreed upon by all the stakeholders.  Putting up a slide that showed a winding U.S. payment technology path that included end-to-end encryption, tokenization, contactless and EMV technology, Roberts said, "You have merchants out here on this road and everyone is in different places and trying to figure out what they invest in, why and when.”  When asked what it would take to get retailers on board, Roberts answered, "If I'm that retailer, I know at some point in the future I have to invest to be EMV capable. I see that as a foregone conclusion. To move that up in my timeline, I'd need to know everyone is on board—here's the timeline, here's the roadmap, here's where you are going and here's the date."



Roberts drew parallels to the Program Management Office established by all of the stakeholders in Canada as they planned their migration to EMV. He said it's a good idea to establish something like that in the U.S., and invited all of the other stakeholders to come together and agree on one plan.



One reason for the step approach was presented succinctly by Robert Carr, CEO of Heartland Payments Systems. Though fully supportive of EMV as the ultimate end point, he argued that the industry can’t get there fast enough, pointing out that Canada’s ‘fast’ EMV implementation took eight years.   Carr has worked toward the goal of making Heartland the most secure payment processor in the world, and has moved toward end-to-end encryption because it is a solution that his company could get to market quickly and unilaterally, though they have tried to make it a standard.  Carr also worked to foster information sharing on attack vectors used by criminals through a new organization he helped to create, the Payments Processing Information Sharing Council. In the past, this information was not shared in the industry, and created a situation where criminals could repeat the same attacks on different organizations. In Carr’s view, being secure should be a competitive advantage, but knowing how criminals are attacking the industry should not be.



The Payments Summit brings together members of the Smart Card Alliance’s Contactless and Mobile Payments Council and Transportation Council. These councils include representatives from transportation authorities, issuing banks and payment brands, retailers, mobile technology suppliers, chip and card manufacturers, terminal manufacturers, payments processors, and transit and payment systems integrators.
