Can people tell me what is really behind this? I think it is the corrupt behavior of the South Korean government people who are in charge. There are many other ways to securitize the system not using this type of strange solutions? I think that local cheap suppliers of programs who employ people who cannot really write prorgames at dirt cheap wages are the sources of corruption instead of Microsoft. Microsoft basically did nothing except making it easier for Korean to use...
...I would definitely vote for this guy. Not only is ActiveX practically designed to force people to use an inferior browser (Internet Explorer) but it's horribly insecure. On top of that, it is absolutely completely unnecessary for online banking. Completely. There's absolutely no purpose in using ActiveX or anything beyond an SSL enabled web server (HTTPS) and common sense while running the server for setting up a web banking server.
Did Microsoft lobby South Korea before to make it illegal to use non-ActiveX?
