In spite we have to accept that with online banking, over the years there has been several breaches and security failures have been happening. People of all ages, be it teenagers, students, working professionals, the elderly and other general public have been victims of such security breaches while doing or having done transactions through net banking. Not opening an unknown attachment in an e-mail is though most common but it does not suffice for avoiding the internet crimes. The internet banking involves actions related to cyber laws. The frauds or security breach act could bring down the brand of a company resulting in not only loss of confidential data but also the dignity and effort that the company had taken to build it . It may cause loss to an individual or lead to unpredictable incidents in the future causing physical or mental loss due to an individual?s privacy information being exposed. Therefore, its critical to take preventive measures against occurrence of security threats or attacks to software systems or mobile applications from the perspective of both the users as well as the banks.
