Security flaw put RBS customers at risk
Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) customers have been put at risk of cyber-attack after being recommended flawed security software.
Since January, the banking group has begun to offer its business banking customers a product called Thor Foresight Enterprise free of charge.
Heimdal Security sells it as "next generation protection" against cyber-threats.
Security researchers uncovered a flaw in it that made customers less secure.
The bug has now been fixed with Heimdal Security estimating that about 50,000 people were using the vulnerable software.
