    The DPO Controller at the banks: I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue!

    That happened to me with my bank updated their app. Suddenly I could browse and move money in and out of others’ accounts. I had to fail-hold for 45 minutes for someone to tell me don’t worry about it. Literally had to call out the CEO’s “mission accomplished” blogpost and say “yeah no your rollout wasn’t perfect. fix my shit.” because customer services refused to do anything.

    good times in the 21st century.

      That’s insane. How long has this been a thing??

    For those of you wondering if you might have been affected but can’t find out because the article is paywalled: Lloyds, Bank of Scotland and Halifax are the ones affected.

    Meanwhile I can’t use the Bank of Scotland app on Graphene OS because apparently GOS isn’t secure enough.
