    Having worked with and for Internet users for nearly 30 years, I can assure you that this is very typical.

      Well we don’t want people thinking these banks are unsafe, just because the malware fell on and twenty thousand passwords leaked out into the internet.

        I’m not saying they’re not safe. Just perhaps not quite as safe as some of the other ones.

      Pisses me off that I waste(?) all this time with password managers and 2FA and paying attention to URL and what not, and then some numpty out there with the password “qwerty123” who clicks on every damn “win an iphone” spam link they ever get sent expects to get bailed out when they lose their money in a scam.

      Its like people who dont pay insurance wanting to be bailed out after a fire/flood or whatever.

      Scammers are total jerks, but the people who keep falling for the most obvious shit are actually worse imo.

        Well, some of them are built so that they don’t leak passwords at all.

      Absolutely ludicrous. These are very very strong systems.
