<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial>where it states</FONT>: "<A

lot of research</FONT></A><FONT size=3>, the results take a while to emerge. In
this case, the researchers took a look at web sites from 214 financial
institutions back in 2006."</FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>The results took awhile to emerge? 2 years?
I found this article to be security fear mongers trying to get some backing for
more research. Does anyone still think that 214 financial institutions haven't
changed their security in 2 years? Or that their websites are still the same as
they were back then?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think someone got some grant money to
conduct the research and was finally forced to cough up the results. Even 2
years later.</FONT></DIV></DIV>
