Surely this situation wouldn't cause any issues though right? If they are relying on names as unique identifiers, they've got far bigger problems than a users name being spelled incorrectly.
- TeMPOraL 5y agoNo, but banks interact with people - both customers and employees. People interpret names. Errors like this could be used to, for example, impersonate someone (by tricking an employee), or deny someone service (e.g. via a clerk who behaves like a zombie, a protein peripheral of the bank's computer system).
