afaik up to 2020, IE and ActiveX was required for online banking. Past that I heard you had to install a local webserver that the browser could communicate with. I'm not sure if any security issues are mandated by law, but it does sound like a minefield.
I recently read reports about Korean banks that were not affected by the latest hacking incident.. They restrict work access to designated tablets only, and they don’t give loan recruiters access to the internal network or even a separate work system. When a recruiter hands a case over to a branch, the rest of the process is handled internally.
Looking at this, it seems that rather than making things easier because of AI, it actually requires more bureaucratic handling. The surface that made people comfortable is, paradoxically, becoming AI’s attack surface.
Doesn't SK have famously, laughably terrible internet security by law?

They didn't have this problem when they forced everyone to use Internet Explorer + ActiveX...

Waiting for the day AI agents break into Nasdaq to achieve a goal.
Why are you waiting for this?
We dont need banks. Interest bearing CBDC wallets is all most people need. Richie rich already hire people to keep tabs on their assets.
