Submission + - Bank Officers Emailing Your Info In The Clear..
Austin writes: "I recently received a email from a loan officer at a major national bank regarding the final documents to my condo closing. The only problem is I am not buying a condo at all, the loan officer made a mistake in the email address domain. I replied and informed her of the mistake. The next day I received thirteen more documents, all unencrypted, non-password protected. The docs pertained to income statements, closing worksheets containing all identifying information (ssn, dob), and, this is good, complete routing instructions for the payment. If banks are going to send this information to external entities like your broker or title lawyer shouldn't they have to protect it in some manner?"
