Got her money back. So that’s good.
But… somehow this person saw her pin (understandable) and then her Monzo pin? And also the password to her password storage?

Probably used the same PIN for phone and card?
It’s a push but same PIN to get into passwords?

Not really anything else there beyond the headline except which companies lost out.
Convenient init.
And a refund.
I was reviewing cases at my place where people had worked together to carry out sophisticated fraud.

I’m going to assume she was using keychain (or another app that falls back to the device passcode, if there is one) and the article already says her PIN was in her password app. So they only needed her phone PIN.

They compromised their own bank account by writing their pin down, wherever that may be.
Many things are assessed through a claim, this is a big no no and can impact the outcome in some cases.

TLDW; report about thieves working in groups to view someone’s passcode before stealing the phone, and how apple lets you change the apple ID password with just the device passcode, allowing them to turn off find my iPhone, remove trusted devices and adding a security key, leaving you locked out your icloud for good and losing all your email and backed up pictures.
This should allow them to add new biometrics to then authorise transactions on monzo or similar.
To mitigate this apps should re prompt for other security after new biometrics, android allows apps to see when this has happened and Starling ( and likely others) requires you to pass pin security before allowing biometrics again.
i just had to google what this meant before i opened the link cause i still read it as “too long, didn’t wead”
i thought Monzo already did? it asks for your card pin before you can re-enable it?

It’s possible monzo also makes you, but I don’t remember and didn’t want to bother checking to be honest.
lemme evaluate what impact me removing it might have and i might take one for the team to check

Good. I have to agree with the guy that Monzo staff were criticising in this case (on the outcome, that is, not necessarily with his other views).

tl;dr, “Guys, use a private WhatsApp for this chat in future and not a company Slack.”

An “open and inclusive culture”.
Unless you happen to believe something different, then you’re openly made fun of.
“The absolute nerve of suggesting that we’re not an inclusive culture if we’re not inclusive of people who are intolerant towards trans people.”
That’s some serious cognitive dissonant back–bending. Someone needs to have a long hard think about what inclusive means.

No less than HMG are “going to war for women”, so he is the one with the wind at his back here. Simultaneously ghoulishness about immigration is practically state and media religion
In such a situation, what relief is there really other than mocking? We keep voting and increasingly horrid governments keep getting elected on thinner and thinner mandates
As far as I am concerned, the only issue here is that they “got caught”
I am pretty certain there is no law against mocking mean people, unlike, say, theft
This topic is pretty much all that politics is now, so good luck with that:

When I think about an inclusive culture I think about being inclusive of different cultures, races, gender identities, disabilities and other similar characteristics about who people are (that they can’t change). I’m pretty sure there’ll be a policy or statement somewhere at Monzo saying exactly what they mean by the term.
When people say they are being ‘inclusive’ they don’t generally mean to say they welcome every political opinion anyone might holds however damaging it is, and there’s nothing inconsistent in that.
