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*
Aral Balkan
@greenWhale Nope.

@aral This is just a joke, right? Right?

@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 Balkan
@fsniper Yeah. The incompetence is mind boggling.
Aral Balkan
@vger Oh, I’m not with them. And it looks like I won’t be either unless they manage to get their shit together.
V'ger
@aral 😂 👌
No, seriously. Time to switch bank.
Aral Balkan
@nigenet Almost exactly what I told them in the email that this was in response to.

@aral "Please write all your confidential information onto a postcard and post it to this address. We promise we'll take good care of it and treat the data very securely if and when it ever arrives..." 😬
skribe 🇺🇦 :verified_mustard:
@aral ask for their gpg fingerprint so you can encrypt the information before sending it 😂
Aral Balkan
@skribe The BOI security team are so hardcore they don’t need encryption.
Aral Balkan
@skribe If someone intercepts a message, Callum from IT tracks them down and gives them a good smack upside the head.

@fsniper But then we’d just end up with all our details in Erdoğan’s hands, no? :)

@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.
Aral Balkan
@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 What a coincidence. I'm studying security and considering moving to Ireland. Maybe I can get contract work helping banks develop sane practices.
Aral Balkan
@Sh41 One wonders why.

@aral they are being targeted for phishing with alarming frequency TBH
