I don't know if this has been discussed before (not been keeping as up-to-date with the list as I should!), but thought I'd flag up a change to the Banking Code here in the UK.
The code reads: "Unless you have acted fraudulently or without reasonable care (for example, by not following the advice in section 12.9), you will not be liable for losses caused by someone else which take place through your online banking service" Section 12.9 says "Use up-to-date antivirus and spyware software and a personal firewall." Now, we have a built-in firewall (and I know many people on this list will have a box running ipcop, for instance), but I personally don't use AV software - for fairly obvious reasons. Anyone reckon "but I use Linux!" isn't going to be enough to make a bank take liability for your lost cash?
