Honestly, I feel like I'm being watched. As if my data had been stolen, and every now and then someone tries to register on old or new sites I've been to, or never have been to. In any case, I've already changed the passwords in most of those websites.

Using text messaging for securing accounts is ludicrous. TEXT MESSAGES ARE NOT SECURE.

Why companies would try to use them for security funtions is dumb.

At some point its important to acknowledge how possible it is that our mobile computers are just as (more) susceptible to exploitation than our personal computers. I remember reading a public email professing the importance of NOT using PGP to sign emails because it convinces everyone else that theres some sort of impenetrable impervention and that the message sender is obviously who they claim to be. Isn't this exactly what they prey upon? What a lovely gift.
 
I never normally read this rag but the story is interesting. Description of sim swap fraud.

And organised crime video from the FT. I just wish they wouldn't put the silly background music on all the time.

Hehe. No, you are, Al...

On topic: My bank has been emptied by the local sociopath/Anonymous member. My point is this is rarely accomplished due to a compromise on the other end (nor does it make sense). It wasn't through the bank; it was through his access to my computer.

P.S. When I showed up at his computer store, he hid in a closet because he's a coward.
 
Using user/pass for banking account should be prohibited via regulation. It is akin to a clerk checking the name and numbers on ID card but not bothering to look at the picture and the person.

I was after-hours in a largeish (for this market) cell/console/comp electronic repair service, collecting some 'domain info' to make them a biz application and seeing technicians rather dissapointed as the good looking girl that brought the cell in for repair doesn't have any kinky pictures/videos of themselves on it. In my own company the PC repair dept guys kept on sifting through computers looking for stuff like its their own, and openly commenting about the find - but I've never seen them copy the stuff over, unlike the guys in the cell repair stores, they kept their own archives of 'user stuff'...

But I've yet to hear somebody was that stupid to actually access and drain a customers account.

I've been followed by a gym teacher and a sociopath for 16 years. I'm releasing a website soon with proof after he covered my Facebook in awful shit. He's everything you would expect him to be.
