  • Android auto copies numbers in SMS text messages to the clipboard, so any apps capable of monitoring the clipboard are suspect for one time security pin harversting.

    Happens quite a lot in my country (Malaysia). People, especially the older ones, install apps form unknown source because their WhatsApp/WeChat friends shared them, then their online banking access got compromised, savings account emptied out, and there’s nothing the banks can do because on their record, its the account holder doing the transfer.

    Some banks now moved away from SMS and use dedicated app for this purpose now.












  • There is also another side to this: a lot of these “tech companies” are not really built to provide meaningful products and services, instead their aim is for speculative valuation in the stock market.

    There is also the use of tech in bussiness that is inherently unproductive economically. Like all the shops on Amazon, they are mostly selling the very same thing out of Amazon’s warehouse bins. These “online business entrepreneurs” aren’t actually adding anything new to the market.

    Then there is also tech companies “cannibalising” on existing markets. For every tech companies rapidly rising, there are tens to hundreds of brick and mortar businesses going under. Added together the total sum of resultant economic growth will of course be very much smaller than expected.


  • Because their performance matrices are evaluated by how closely they follow their SOP. They are forced to follow it even if it’s brain dead. It is up to the ones setting the policies and procedures (the management) to make sure that their SOP and workflow they put in actually works.

    If the management don’t give a shit, keep giving bullshit orders and setting bullshit targets, workers with common sense will leave from all the frustration, leaving only the kinds of people you met running the department.
