This is rather unfortunate since it only ends up hurting consumers who are waiting for their banks to offer real mobile banking services (like me). Thanks for the post. I will link to it from my blog. Hi David – You are absolutely right – there is a lot of misinformation out there on the security of mobile banking.

Just saying mobile banking is unsafe and scaring consumers (and bankers for that matter) doesn't help anyone. Phishing (and Smishing) are real concerns. Bankers need to ensure their best practices help educate users that the real bank would never solicit private information via SMS or email. Bankers and mobile banking vendors also need to ensure their products are securely architected. Swearing off all mobile banking isn't the answer.
