Time to return to the Mason jar banking era.

This could all be eliminated if everyone would just get a biometric chip implanted in their hand or forehead.

Well ya. But I love how the media makes it sound like some rogue AI broke in to various banking systems on their own to add more fuel to the ZOMG AI GONNA KILL US ALL fire they've been pushing...

...when it was really just meemaw being stupid and giving her creds to an AI agent, just like when she was stupid and gave her banking creds to Pajeet.

They're getting way better than they used to. I got a call, checked out the caller ID and it showed it was my credit union (they hacked the trunking system). After I talked to the person on the other end I got suspicious. I hung up and called the credit union back. Found out they never called. When that same person called me back I did a Tom Cruise "Tropic Thunder" curse out them. It was actually therapeutic.

I just got an email about a new device trying to login to my Venmo account. I rarely use it, so I went in and removed all my banking info, changed the password, then deactivated the account. I will be keeping a keen eye on my checking account transactions for a while over this.

Don't like that at all.

That's SOP for any IT department and required by financial regulatory agencies. No big deal.

Of course that's what it is. I'm sure the author of this article knows that too, but is intentionally fear mongering instead.

My guess is no.

Curious if these are smaller local banks or if any of the big banks have had infiltration. I would expect smaller banks to not have as tight of controls as larger banks, and if there is any slop at all in a zero trust model in any financial software, AI will absolutely find the vulnerability.

I haven't seen any correlation of AI and this PHP2Shell vulnerability that the NSA announced recently, but my opinion is this has AI written all over it.

The models that are currently being released are able to discover vulnerabilities at a much more rapid pace than software systems and operating systems can provide a patch for.
