I find it bizarre how people aren't giving Monzo more of a hard time over this. This is a security blunder of the highest order. Saying sorry in a cutesy email

I find it bizarre how people aren't giving Monzo more of a hard time over this. This is a security blunder of the highest order. Saying sorry in a cutesy email after the fact doesn't in any way make up for it.
- scrollaway 7y agoProbably because it's not a "security blunder of the highest order". Equifax was a "security blunder of the highest order". This is an it-happened-to-Facebook-and-Google "shit, some sensitive info ended up in internal logs" blunder where there's no reason to suspect the PINs actually leaked out of the company. And even if they did, a PIN on its own is not sensitive information - unlike a password, it's just a 4 digit number, there's only 10000 of them. And unlike SSNs, they can be changed. I can tell you my PIN is 1077 and what on earth are you going to do with that information?
- dbbk 7y ago> This is a security blunder of the highest order. No information was leaked... it's really kind of a non-issue. Monzo's approach is radical transparency. Any other bank probably would have never said anything.
