- Havoc 4y agoThey're cracking open gym lockers, grabbing phone and bank cards, using knowledge of the bank name, person name and access to the SMS OTP visible on phone to relink a fresh cellphone banking app. That's the speculation anyway & there are some gaps in the theory. But yeah basically they're gaining access to the entire bank a/c and doing thousands of damage instead of usual credit card stuff which is obv protected legally
- CTOSian 4y agoIt is the shite way the Paypal and I think Amazon does this : they put the code at the start of the SMS, other OTP providers sent it in the middle/end of the SMS, so even if someone set the display of text messages as 'enabled' on the locked screen , they are truncated and you can't see the code (but not in the case of Paypal)- you need to unlock the screen to read the full text YMMV as some SMS apps display it full.
