Sir – impartial financial information provider Which? has announced that, despite a dramatic increase in online security breaches, victims of Internet crime are no longer guaranteed to have any such losses refunded by their bank.

This will only compound consumer fears regarding online financial services, and comes at a time when the industry should be solely focused on the prevention of such crime.

While no solution can claim to be 100% effective, encrypted e-mail which allows sender and recipient authentication adds a further layer of security when communicating personal or private information online. This will then help in reducing the threat posed by phishing.
