Looking at the president's bank account 'for fun'

Thanks for saying its SocGen. That part of it has been kept a secret in the French newspapers.

Not sure if they provide their 'high-end' customers OTP devices but SocGen uses the 'roaming calculator' type of authentication method for their online banking. They think that it would be difficult for keyloggers to get the pincode with a roaming digits device. 

Perhaps SocGen can roam the exhibit halls of the Cartes Exposium which is happening next week in Paris Nord to check out better authentication tools.  :)

It is rather amateurish to operate a bank with any random employee being able to access any customer's account for fun. Who designed their security? It isn't worthy of Homer Simpson.

No bank employee should be able to access any account unless it is on behalf of the customer or with the customer's approval/participation.

No wonder insider fraud is so popular, its made so easy with these systems thought out in the 1950's when the teller knew your name. They might all know Sarkozy's name, but times have changed and those carefree days are gone.

It's enough to make customers lose confidence and any trace of trust in banks.

Time to get into the 21st century and stop those randoms getting into anyone's accounts.
