There were 23 fraud cases in 2007!
In Brussels the accounts of about fifteen Belgians with an internet account at Argenta, Dexia and KBC were plundered this year by hackers of the Russian mafia. But the banks have already did something to stop this.
In the course of spring some customers have communicated that their bank account was dismantled. The hackers have provided their selves access to the internet account of the customers.
The central systems of the banks were not cracked. The hackers obtained therefore possibly to the data of the customers of their Personal Computer.
Judicial research must identify now the accused ones of this new fraud!
The Russian mafia has to the technique in house to commit hacking.
At the beginning of this year hundreds of customers of the Swedish bank Nordea were the victim of computer fraud. That happened thanks to e-mails. They have stolen more than € 870,000 of the personal bank accounts of that people.
But thank God the touched customers were already compensated by their banks.
What is mostly strange is that Belgium stands on the top concerning security for banking on the internet and it is in Belgium that this has happened.
After this case that three important Belgian banks have taken more security measures. They think it was because some people don’t have a Digipass!
But now is the question:
Is electronically paying really safe enough?
The answer is that it is safe but the number of operations where something went wrong, amounts to one on ten millions, that is not much, but I hope I will never be the victim of that type of fraud, because I also use the internet banking-service of the banks!

I think that the banks should give a n explenation how this could happen, and what they are going to do about it, so that the costumers have faith in the system again.
