Grumpy Website

 

Anonymous submission. This is worse than I could ever imagine. Original text follows:

---

Your bank re-works their website. Here's what you have to do to log in:

- Use existing username + password: prompt “activate your account!”

- Enter name, birthdate, email, and... member number?

- Dig around files. Member number is not printed on card, not on checks.

- Login page has a button: “find member number” Fine, I'll use that.

- Button is JS that takes you to a new domain. No longer the bank's website!

- Url looks like <30 random chars>.my.site.com. Had to double-check—this looks malicious. It was not.

- Checkbox: “are you an individual”? Yes??? Continue.

- Enter: name, birthdate, email, FULL SSN (wtf?! remember, we are now on a third-party site)

- Do you get your member number now? Of course not!

- You get to meet ANA instead, and must ASK A CHATBOT to parrot your member number. (screenshots)

- Acquire member number, can finally log in.

I hope my SSN didn't make it into the chatbot's context.
