I could have supplied a screenshot of the real AIB online banking site, but there’s little point as they are almost identical
What is interesting is that they are targetting personal users only and not the business clients.
I see it doesn’t even try to use https.
My personal motto when it comes to online banking is if the bar ain’t yellow stay away! obviously the URL has to match too, and not come from an e-mail :p

It probably wouldn’t have got past our phishing filters, but even those are being circumvented by some of the phishers of late

I’m still confused as to why you’d do thing. There’s not exactly much you can do on 24-hour online without phoning up and confirming loads of details that the phishing site doesn’t have access to. Basically if someone got onto my banking they couldn’t do much more than pay off my credit card bill or transfer money into my saving account.
Dave: Whats to stop them ringing the bank once they have your account details? Its been a while since I rang the bank but IIRC the only security measure they ask you for is your PIN (which the phishers now have) …
When I ring up, they ask me, Date of Birth, Address and regularly ask me for either the last transaction or the balance! Maybe I’m just (un)lucky.
