This is an actual email from an actual Irish bank.How these muppets aren’t hacked on a daily basis is beyond me.(Note: this was in response to me telling them that no, I won’t be sending you private bank statements over unencrypted email, thank-you-very-much.)*smh*#ireland #banking #security

@aral They are a total joke. They get credit card numbers over the phone. They can't even open an account in a timely manner. Everything is a struggle with Irish banking. And they are probably confused why Revolut is too big now.

@aral Good lord. What is it with banks and fundamental security flaws? This is up there with "put your banking app on the same smartphone that has the 2FA app".

@aral ask for their gpg fingerprint so you can encrypt the information before sending it 😂

@vger Oh, I’m not with them. And it looks like I won’t be either unless they manage to get their shit together.

@aral it doesn’t surprise me… That reminds me I should check if the government finally find someone for highest infosec position in the country. Ah yes, in 2022 after 18 months…

@aral I wish they would send their high level executives to Turkish banks for a weeks collaboration. So that they could see how thing could be better. Not saying getting unsafe practices but their good practices.

@skribe If someone intercepts a message, Callum from IT tracks them down and gives them a good smack upside the head.

@aral What a coincidence. I'm studying security and considering moving to Ireland. Maybe I can get contract work helping banks develop sane practices.

@Alephwyr That would require them to acknowledge they have a problem first :)Good luck with the move + let me know if there’s anything I can help with from here.

@aral The illusion of email being a secure medium is staggering. The other day I had the HR dept where I work ask me to send bank statements and SIN equivalent through the mail. A while back I had a foreign embassy ask me to send birth and citizenship documentation via email.Stunning.I think it's mainly down to the illusion of "everyone uses email, so it must be safe".
