Ever heard of Certificate Pinning and how useful it is for banks in 
terms of increasing security of banking apps.   Well...you have 
now...and it aint looking too good at the moment...

Banks affected include...HSBC, Coop, Natwest and Bank of America's 
Health Account App.

And there was I thinking I would download a mobile phone banking app, 
because I was told that they were more secure than those on my 
desktop...:-).

Pity all those bank branches are closing... It is extremely difficult to 
operate a bank account if one doesn't have an online bank account...

ATB

Dougie.
