Night shift security guards are the real MVPs for financial institutions. When the lights go out, threats go up. Armed or unarmed, paired with mobile patrols or remote CCTV—prevention starts at night.

Explore how smart banks are leveling up their security game… quietly.

Would your bank protect you like this?

$38,000 disappeared from Justin Chan’s account overnight.
It took him 5 months to get it back.
And only after the media got involved.

Justin was the victim of a SIM-swap attack — someone impersonated him and hijacked his phone number through his carrier. Using intercepted 2FA codes, the attacker wired funds out of his joint Bank of America account.

The initial response from the bank? Case closed.
Robinhood? “There’s nothing we can do.”

It wasn’t until investigative journalists began pressing both companies that Justin started seeing refunds.

Here’s the problem:
Banks and fintech platforms are still playing catch-up when it comes to mobile-related fraud.

And in many cases:

- You’re guilty until proven innocent.
- You must fight every inch for accountability.
- Your security depends on how loud you’re willing to get.

Justin’s story had a happy ending — but only because he pushed back hard.

Most people don’t have a media team backing them.

If the systems protecting our finances rely on PR pressure to function, maybe it’s time we rethink who’s really protecting us.

At @Efani, we believe prevention shouldn’t require a news headline.

I hate when a site (financial of course) refuses to accept a password because it’s “too weak” and forces a weaker one.

50 characters is too weak in this case, had to go strong with 12 instead. 🤦‍♂️

Ni som vet: hur omsätter innehavare av stulna krypto-pengar till hårdvaluta?

Jag läser att #Nordkorea misstänks för stöld av krypto för minst 450 miljoner. IP-adresser knutna till agenter har fastslagits.

Med tanke på att jag måste svara på frågor från banken som är mer personliga än en prostataundersökning fattar jag inte detta.

Just had a scam call from 07789 551 583: and got an automated voice message from #banksecurity
I pressed ‘2’ to speak to an agent & spoke to Jane … who put the phone down on me when I asked *which* bank she was phoning from.

That banks, lawyers etc. feel there is zero risk in sending any critical information in an unencrypted email is so worrying… loan applications, and loan documents, sure; bank statements, no problem; invoice scams from intercepted unencrypted pdfs, etc. catch so many, and have done for years…
Then the banks tell you off for falling for scams, without any understanding of their own abysmal behaviour 🤯😩🤦‍♀️
