Ivan Sagalaev :flag_wbw: on Nostr: I'm shocked that banking and trading web apps routinely ask for full login ...
I'm shocked that banking and trading web apps routinely ask for full login credentials to link external accounts. Just like that: "Provide login and password to your bank [recommended]". I'm shocked how widespread this is.
And then we wonder why people get constantly phished on the Internet: because nobody could be expected to see as suspicious something that your *bank* *recommends* you to do.
I'd vote for any politician who will at least talk of making it illegal.
