[Surv0]

They telling people to change their banking passwords? I think we can assume they lost alot of sensitive data.. usernames and passwords of liberty accounts, along with all the bank account details linked to these accounts...

Why would Liberty have people's banking passwords?

That's probably just precaution.

People tend to reuse passwords...

Wouldn't it be because of Stash where people link their bank cards making you save every time you swipe?

They would have to know when you Swipe and surely wouldn't know that just with the card number.

They read the sms/app notifications the bank send you.

So when you don't get SMS, you don't get Stash to work? (can't have it anyway because they don't take passport numbers but my internet banking is another sim card than my main one).

Pretty dumb TBH.

Yes, but I think it's already established they don't store them in the clear?

I'm safe.

5 years later THEY (liberty) are unable to change my password - I've forgotten it and have never been able to get them to reset it - go figure

I'm hoping the racism in your post is totally unintentional...

What if Sipho and Temba work there ?

So you forfeited your entire savings?

 

[ToxicBunny]

Then why would Sipho need to give Temba access?

Different departments....

There's a zillion other ways to stash like every 24h, sunny days, sweat etc.

Well then someone still needs to be fired for breaching company rules...

Oh ok, thanks.

Anyway, will probably take 5 years before they think of allowing passport holders.

Assuming they used the same password for banking and liberty... not actual banking passwords.

Yes, but supposedly no in the clear passwords were breached?
