AFAIK, this redirect has been happening for quite some time...I've often accessed the site. The "meltdown" issue regarding the ATMs as referred to by Barry was well before the date (mentioned above) and was contributed to BT I believe. Regarding the DNS vulnerability (presented by Dan Kaminsky at Black Hat), if you tried to access www.aib.ie but were redirected to a false site - that's an issue with your ISP DNS servers, not the desination site's (AIB's in this case). The attack was based on a lack of randomness on DNS query ids on DNS connections originating from the client. John,

Other reports say problems with bt. Scary for a bank, with every thing that has been happening with stolen personal details all over the news,nothing on the aib website about the issue, will they just sweep it under the rug!
