MODERATORS
Perfectly well said.
It's infuriating to have to split a banking app off the VPN tunnel because they deem that secure. Or that 2FA over SMS which is inherently insecure and spoofable is acceptable and REQUIRED versus an RSA key or authenticator app.
It's pushing me into grumpy old man territory quickly. My bank swapped to some of these requirements for their app last year so now I phone in on an international VOIP number over VPN and can do all my banking. It's absolutely insane that's its an acceptable form of communication over my secure device in my hand, but it's easier to call the line like an octagenerian, give them digits off of a debit card, and be able to wire money in and out and around all my accounts. I see why scammers have such an easy time.
@TechNerdWizard42 @GenderNeutralBro "like an octogenarian" lmao!!!!
