Alternatively, given the list of 100,000 usernames that's out there, I could seriously and repeatedly inconvenience 100,000 Westpac users for a ransom

Having a strong front door is great at stopping people breaking down your front door. It doesn’t stop people throwing a rock through your window. And once they’ve thrown a rock through your window, if you leave your priceless gems lying around rather than in a safe, they’re going to walk off with your valuables.Jackleg wrote: Tue Jan 28, 2020 11:02 amExplainify for those who hit rocks together for a living?NotoriousREV wrote: Thu Jan 23, 2020 2:47 pmWhich is great if that's the attack vector used by hackers.Simon wrote: Thu Jan 23, 2020 1:03 pm Having looked around, Westpac's answer to this is that after 3 unsuccessful logins they lock your account for 24 hours.
