I discovered that my bank, Banque Nationale, used GET to delete transactions from the History. Then somebody could send a mail to the bank clients with an image linked to this Get action and delete the transactions of the client if he was logged into the bank and reading his emails at the same time. It wasn't a big risk, but I don't understand how this went live. I mean if a bank could not get that POST is for C_UD and GET for _R__, then who?
