Or, ya know, stop having shitty security on a website? Oh and how about users don't reuse passwords? While I agree with you in spirit, there's the other side of the coin where harmless situations do more good than bad. BVM isn't stealing identities, nobody is going to jail, it's just a visual change to bring attention to a poor practice. How about we cater our response to damage done and not burn the whole world down.

April Fools Sees Fake Extra Millions For Users of Brokerage Site 280

Upstart online brokerage site Zecco had an unfortunate April Fool's day snafu that they are claiming was an honest mistake. Users logged on to find larger balances than they should have, sometimes millions of dollars extra, and many of those users started trading with the nonexistent money. Happy April Fool's Day. "... when Zecco realized it, the company apparently started to force sell, even at a loss, charging the losses to the customers along with a '$19.99 broker-assisted trading fee.' Oops."
