Here’s what your stolen identity goes for on the internet’s black market
- zenincognito 11y agoRecently, my bank (Australia) was hacked and data stolen. How do I know ? Because, every day I get a spam email ( From @mybank.com ) which has my account numbers , the stocks I have traded and some other personal info that only my bank has and asks me to change my password. It also contains a link that goes to the third party website with a phishing page. The big 4 banks here are very insecure and any one with even a mediocre knowledge of sysadmin can get into them. Alas, even after having billions in revenue they don'e have a bug bounty. Shame they take our money but do not take our privacy seriously.
- hermanmerman 11y agoAnd you're still banking there? That sounds kind of serious...
- zenincognito 11y agoWe only have 4 major banks here. Not much of a choice.
- carterehsmith 11y agoHorrible. That said, I couldn't help but notice how nicely done the web UI looks. Clearly-presented categories, nice and apparently accurate faceted search, the listings on the right are well arranged and obviously time was sent on picking right fonts, there is a 'Save search' function etc. Have to say, looks much better than the average "Show HN" :)
