"The rapid increase of technology from the second half of the 20th century has touched nearly every area of life. Education, entertainment and other leisure activities have all benefited from technological advances, which mainly focuses on Internet and communication technology. Banking is no exception to this paradigm. The Internet has made a variety of banking activities possible from the comfort of one's home or workplace. Transactions can for example include payments, shopping and other account management possibilities. This however has opened up an opportunity for fraudulent practices by for example hackers, which would not before have been possible. This is only one of the risks associated with electronic banking, or e-banking. From the point of view of financial institutions then, e-banking has substantially increased the risks of banking in a variety of ways."
