RBS critical of AV detection rate..
« on: April 23, 2009, 01:32:04 PM »
Hi malware fighters,

RBS is critical of AV solutions detection rate, re: http://www.sophos.com/blogs/gc/g/2009/04/22/rbs-rapport-oitc-antivirus-test-results/
Have you followed this news, and what is your opinion?
Is this just a pub discussion over a few beers, or has this report any substance?

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!

That report seems to be a whole lot of crap to me.    ::)

I never thought much of RBS in the past and this does not help their image at all with me.

They should look after the mess their Bank is in and leave the security aspects to those that are best able to know what they are doing.

I will of course, talk about it over a few beers though.  Who's buying?!  Sorry, I'm getting silly now, guess I should hit the hay.

I'll buy but you have to come here on Thursday eve as I am getting together with a couple of old friends to discuss life, divorce lawyers and and mischief we got into.

I had nothing to do with the Bank fiasco.
