One thing I wonder is if this works when you call Monzo as well - once you give them your details, does the same thing appear in the app? Because that opens the door for a man-in-the-middle attack. Actually, in that case it makes the attack so much worse, because it legitimises the attacker.
- jonathanlydall 3y agoAlso my first question.
- Gare 3y agoWhy not just have an ability to call in-app via secure voice chat?
- bartvk 3y agoYeah, I didn’t get that either.
- andrewfromx 3y agobecause they want to be able to dial a normal phone number to make your phone ring to get your attention.
- vinay_ys 3y agohmm, WhatsApp rings my phone more than regular phone network and like me billions of people pick-up WhatsApp calls everyday.
- andrewfromx 3y agothis is true, but for most american's we still use a phone number and do not have any thing like WhatsApp, Signal, or Telegram installed on our phones. The phone number ring is still gold here.
- imakeinternet 3y agoWell that would rely on you being able to call Monzo in the first place. None of the numbers you are able to find take you to a person, instead infinitely redirecting you to use the in-app chat... which is more "Leave us a message and we'll pick it up on Monday" than an actual live chat. Background: Monzo froze _all_ of my bank accounts for nearly 5 days after triggering some fraud protection measures. Great in theory... until you are completely unable to speak to anyone.
