I'm very concerned about the security of the Rebuilding Society website and thought I'd share my concerns. I've worked i the web world for over 20 years.
When I signed up for a RBS account I checked the sites code (force of habit) and noticed it's entire platform is built on Wordpress. Wordpress is primarily a blogging platform that has more recently been developed for other uses, but I've never seen a Wordpress site used for any type of a financial transacting business due to it's lack of security. In other words, Wordpress is a vulnerable system that is prone to hacking. That's why you'll never see a bank using it.
Maybe RBS doesn't stoe any personal information on it's site, I don't know as I have yet to make any transactions. That being said if you have any type of personal, banking or financial details attached to your RBS account, I'd be very concerned.
