blog! “Bank scammers using genuine push notifications to trick their victims”

And then a ummm "successful" Australian bank texts an elderly customer saying they'd like to speak with them.
The SMS included a phone number and a password.

Yes it was genuinely from the fking bank.
Great way to train customers up to be scammed. Dickheads.
