They do have nice, readable information on many <A HREF="https://www.bankofamerica.com/privacy/Control.do?body=privacysecur_types_online_fraud" REL="nofollow">threats</A>, including <A HREF="https://www.bankofamerica.com/privacy/Control.do?body=privacysecur_email_fraud" REL="nofollow">phishing</A>. <BR/><BR/>Looking around, there is a link to the <A HREF="http://www.bankofamerica.com/privacy/index.cfm?template=bac_toolbar" REL="nofollow">Bank of America toolbar</A>. Shame its not linked from the other information.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Now I just need BoA to officially <A HREF="http://www.bankofamerica.com/onlinebanking/index.cfm?template=faq_security#browsers" REL="nofollow">support FireFox</A> as a browser.<BR/><BR/>Don't get me wrong, I think that its a good thing that BoA is putting effort into helping customers stay secure. In my opinion they have a great online service as well. It feels like they need to enforce the use of things like the toolbar, since many customers will just not take the time to download, install and understand them otherwise. Or at least make you sign-off to the risk each time you use the site if you choose not to use the available free tools. <BR/><BR/>Maybe a little too aggressive!<BR/><BR/>Thanks<BR/><BR/>PhilPhil Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14708790980510403134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29020225.post-35865062096009338462007-08-30T12:06:00.000-04:002007-08-30T12:06:00.000-04:00Just a quick note - BofA does offer an Earthlink A...Just a quick note - BofA does offer an Earthlink Anti-Phishing toolbar, and the Symantec product also has a built-in toolbar for anti-phishing as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
