Security firms leap into Cahoot debate
Network Security · 2004
At least three IT security companies were prompt to comment on the avoidability of Cahoot's well-publicized security breach of 5 November. RSA, Kavado, and Netegrity stepped forward to offer advice. The BBC exposed Abbey's online bank to be guilty of a security blunder introduced during a system upgrade twelve days previously. The upshot of the breach was that customers were able to see details of other people's accounts, but unable to move money around.
