i completely disagree, its definitely educational to people in demographics who fall for these things. and its less denigrating than the real thing.
and the dummy skimmers on gas pumps isn't a bad idea, there's a lot of people who have probably still never heard of them, although maybe videos would reach a wider audience for this one as having this irl could cause actual problems. whereas fake phishing emails to vulnerable customers will force them to wisen up.
even if its something that shouldn't need to be implemented at your bank, because there are better solutions, it can still help them elsewhere in life.
- seemaze 3y agoI absolutely support education around digital hygiene and online security, I just see the method discussed as behavioral operant conditioning, not pro-active education. To take the example to the absurd, should we entrap people to teach them not to commit crimes? I'm also not arguing that it is ineffective, I just view it as morally ambiguous and sowing distrust.
