Government and Banks will create “banco.ar”.
With the creation of the new extension “banco.ar” it is seek to hinder virtual fraud against users of Home Banking in Argentina.
The creation of this extension will give even more strength to the idea of creating new secure spaces in the virtual world through restricted domains that will allow more security for users.
Brazil already adopted this idea creating the extension “B.BR” that can only be used by financial entities that accredit a high level of security against virtual fraud.
Some weeks ago the national government and banks that operate in the country started to work on the creation of this extension oriented specifically for Argentinean Banking activities, with the objective of reducing virtual defraud cases, known as “phishing”.
“Phishing” is the capacity of duplicating a web site to make the visitor think that the web site is the original, instead of the forged. The idea of the mislead is to acquire confidential information of the user, like password, credit card or financial/banking information.
The criminals take advantage of the expansion of the Net, formed by millions of users, where the target never gets exhausted. However, phishing frauds have become more sophisticated and the criminals have developed “a threat thought for each user (thought for each user)”: The banking fraud is the most usual professional computing crime. The criminals attack the system in their weaker link: the client, or now even more, its personal computer.
