I think the UK bank was just me speculating about
http://www.smile.co.uk
because the only way to access their service was via
an applet (which handled security).

They've since changed it and gone for standard HTML
over SSL.

But I would still expect a high profile UK case this year some time.

Speaking of the Australian case, there's a good analysis at

Cheers
