HSBC banking web site trojan

[Peter Tomlinson]

This morning (Saturday) HSBC's Personal Banking web site has a Trojan 
that tries to download when you click 'Login' from the general HSBC 
portal page. Kaspersky reports Trojan.HTML.Agent.ce.

I found it at 10.10. HSBC call centre didn't know at 10.30 - but the 
lady there found that she could not log in, went away, came back, told 
me that the company did know and is trying to fix it (one hour was 
suggested)... So why did they not just kill the site?

HSBC Business Banking (accessed from the same portal) is OK.
