The Australian firm Dvuln, which made the discovery, said the passwords were stolen directly from users' personal devices, which had been infected with a type of malware known as an "infostealer".

"This is not a vulnerability in the banks," Dvuln's founder Jamie O'Reilly said.

If they don't have 2FA, yes it is a vulnerability in the banks. The fact we don't have any regulations on this is ridiculous.
