LONDON (Reuters) - An online security flaw has left 3.1 million British customers of bank HSBC open to hacking and fraud for at least two years, the Guardian newspaper reported on Thursday. It said a group of researchers at Cardiff University had found that hackers could secretly record customers’ keystrokes and were then usually able to break into a victim’s account in five attempts. They were certain to do so within nine attempts. Cardiff researchers said other banks use a different system, which experts say is more secure.
