2 banking security experts: UK's Tesco bank halts online transactions when 20K hit by fraud

In response to reports that the UK's Tesco Bank stops online transactions after 20,000 hit by fraud and 40,000 were hit with fraud attempts:

Shane Stevens, Director of Omni-Channel Identity and Trust Solutions, VASCO Data Security, says: It goes to show the criticality of what each bank needs to do to protect their customers. Banks need to take a step back and assess all their endpoint access and all their layers of security. A thorough assessment must be done to validate their current code and gaps so that they can put together a security game plan that will drive advanced protection against fraudsters in the marketplace. Merely sharing security knowledge and communications from CEO to Teller and from Bank to Bank is no longer making the cut. It's time for executives to take action across all banks to drive a global convergence of intelligent security solutions, as customers and banks don’t know who to trust anymore and that's actually making it easier for cybercriminals to succeed.

£4 BILLION TO SUPPORT BRITAIN’S MODERN FORCES AND THEIR FAMILIES

Vigilance can report that Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has announced that over £4 billion will be invested to create a better defence estate for the UK’s Armed Forces and their families.

The ‘Better Defence Estate’ strategy is a review of Ministry of Defence (MOD) land headed up by military leaders to deliver a more efficient, modern and capability-focused defence estate. In the most significant changes to defence land since the Second World War, 91 sites owned or managed by the MOD are set to be sold. Every penny raised from the sales will be reinvested back into defence, creating areas of military expertise in specific locations around the country.
