Comment on Cloned customer voice beats bank security checks
Cenotaph@mander.xyz 4 weeks agoI know, right? Every time I call my bank they try to automatically enroll me in the service and I have to opt-out. Its more nonsense info to give to the bank and if anything if makes my account less secure.

A security system is only as secure as it’s weakest point.
Here in Sweden we have BankID to access banks and government services.
To logon you either need to launch BankID on the same device as the browser/app, or you get a QR code to scan with the app.
Once you are in the app and have scanned the QR code, you authenticate the login attempt and get logged in.
In the past the service worked slightly differently, you would enter your personal number on the webpage/app and a login prompt would appear in your BankID app.
That was quickly exploited by scammers, who scammed elderly people out of their savings.
