      Yes. He would really like you and the investors to know how good his fraud device is, but you have to promise not to use it to do crimes. Also, if you are afraid of his fraud device he would like to sell you fraud device protection.

    This moron is trying to drum up financial panic so he can hawk his stupid human verification device. The Sphere I think ? Or the Orb ? Whatever. It’s a fucking camera.

    Voiceprinting as an identification for wealthy bank clients grew popular more than a decade ago, with customers typically asked to utter a challenge phrase into the phone to access their accounts.

    ha, I thought it was just a movie trope

    sometimes it feels like banks will use literally anything but recommended practices for multi-factor authentication

      I wish. My bank has been trying to get me to do that shit for years when I call in.

      “YoUr VoIcE iS yOuR pAsSwOrD” - no, my fucking password is my password, and this voice print shit was an obvious security hole from day 1, which is why I always answered that I didn’t consent to their bullshit.

      Nope.

      Fuck TD. They enabled this horseshit automatically on my account. Surprise, surprise, it didnt work on my voice, even once.

      Supposedly they disabled it three times. Guess what else happened? Someone accessed my damn account, because it was their voice linked to my account.

      I’ll never have a TD account again. Absolute jackasses in terms of account security, that isn’t even the only issue I had with them.
