Comment If your bank don't do MFA (Score 1) 1

It looks like this is a "Man in the middle" attack in one way or another. Try to access your bank from another place and computer. Consumer routers are known to be hacked easily, and turn off UPnP in the router since that's a security hole the size of Grand Canyon.

If your bank don't do Multi-Factor Authentication you shall leave asap for another more secure bank.

A login and password might have been enough in the 1970's.

Comment It took almost nothing (Score 1) 78

For Republican voters to piss away the Constitution and states' rights. Just one fat orange turd who said nasty things and got away with it and they would burn everything in the country down.

It really shows a complete lack of any principles on the part of Republican voters. That's the problem with the right wing they have a hierarchy not a belief system let alone principles.

Submission + - Ask HN: Has Bank of America been hacked? 1

TempestRose writes: Tried to log in to Bank of America login today, both mobile on Android and web, and get asked for:
ACCOUNT # ?
SS#

WTH?
I've recieved physical mail letters saying
"WE will NEVER ask you for Account, SSN, or PIN"
, and yet here we are.

Obviously, I have used a login and password for BoA for years.
I do not remember the last time I logged in, but I'm sure it was in November 2025

I'd REALLY like to hear from the general HN populace on this, please.

USAID was horrifically corrupt

The cuts to USAID are projected to cause 14 million extra deaths - a large minority of those children - by 2030. And USAID engendered massive goodwill among its recipients

But no, by all means kill a couple million people per year and worsen living conditions (creating more migration) in order to save $23 per person, that's clearly Very Smart(TM).

And I don't know how to inform you of this, but the year is now 2025 and the Cold War and the politics therein ended nearly four decades ago. And USAID was not created "to smuggle CIA officers" (though CIA offers used every means available to them to do their work, certainly), it was created as a counterbalance to the USSR's use of similar soft power to turn the Third World to *its* side.

They can go back at any point if they don't think the conditions and salaries offered are worth the job. What matters is that they remain free to leave, with no "catches" keeping them there (inability to get return transport, inability to communicate with the outside world, misinformation, etc etc). Again, there's a debate to have over what conditions should be mandated by regulation, but the key point is that the salary offered - like happens illegally today en masse - is lower than US standards but higher than what they can get at home.

What on Earth are you talking about? Nobody is trying to make other countries poor and dangerous. People come to the US from these countries because even jobs that are tough and underpaid by US standards are vastly better than what is available at home. Creating a formal system just eliminates the worst aspects of it: the lawlessness, the sneaking across the border in often dangerous conditions (swimming across rivers, traveling through deserts), "coyotes" smuggling people in terrible conditions, and so forth. The current US system is the dumbest way you could possibly handle it: people wanting to work, US employers wanting them, the US economy benefitting from it... but still making it illegal, chaotic, dangerous, and unregulated for those involved.
