Lots of people here exposing their single sign on approve code because a scammer ask them to send them a screenshot.

I mean... "please read me the code you get via text" or "this really Bank of America, please type your OTP" seems to work well enough. We really don't need OS-level controls for stuff on the screen. People can just tell you what's on the screen.

So that means this change will result in a noticeable decline in such scams, right?

Right??

  • Potentially worse than nothing, it allows for someone to claim they have a fix even if the fix does nothing to stop someone from becoming a victim, thus allowing for even stronger victim blaming.
