I thought it was that they'd failed to test their in-house online banking against #Firefox (which I run into a lot... feeling like 1998 again), but I also noticed 3rd-party #cookies being #blocked.
I wonder if #medical/#financial online sites loading Google/Facebook/whatever analytics violates #PIPEDA?

If someone sends payment 1 with a security question A, and they send payment 2 with security question B (before payment 1 is accepted), payment 1 and payment 2 will share the same security question. So this essentially reverse the first question/password

Strangely enough, while the AWS sites simply reported that the phishing pages had been taken down, the #spam that referenced #Interac and linked through shortlink services all landed on pages written in #Hangul, the alphabet of the #Korean language.
One link caused the browser to redirect itself to a page written in Korean and hosted on the website belonging to the parent organization of the Jehovah's Witnesses, for example. There's no indication anything malicious was ever hosted on that site. All the sites that landed on pages in Korean came from #spam messages that referenced #Interac specifically. 5/9

Another version of the #phishing #spam campaign included references in the subject and body to #Interac, a payments mechanism that most Canadian banks support for transactions between individuals or businesses. These messages, rather than linking directly to pages hosted in Amazon AWS, linked to a variety of different websites, including a variety of shortlink and marketing websites. The messages also had small but distinctive grammatical errors (possibly indicating they were written by a non-native English speaker). 4/9

So further enshitification (@doctorow) via forced usage by governments.
#interac (owned by rogers) bought https://verified.me and I have to agree to (among other things) that any misuse of my credentials is my responsibility entirely, with no exceptions https://www.interac.ca/en/legal/#interac-sign-in-service-end-user-agreement and yes, I have to use Interact/verified.me because the Canadian Government forces it, and I have to interact with the Canadian Government.
