The great man of the peeple himself will grace de peasants wit his presence twoday so to speak as they say PC. Here's what he MIGHT discuss:

Francesca McDonagh OBE said technological transformation was de furst ting she'd fix and dat. Wan Bank Official said he (OR SHE!) never heard of Da Lahv Lahn - little digeen from de modest one. Who's hacking into de Bank Of Ireland Text Messaging masheen so to speak as they say? Dis is what she said on anudder program earlier. Mr. Duffy treading on "tin ice" legally so to speak I'd say here wit some of his phraseology.

De poor publicans. :rolleyes:

De Oirish Band Fonatines DC. Wunderful, fantastic so to speak.

Haven't been focussing as much as usual here lately with distractions and dat, but did I hear right that a caller or two purported that scams are allegedly originating within a bank itself?

I have zero technical knowledge in the IT security department, so my brain there is a blank page, but I'm imagining this would be a very alarming situation if there was a grain of truth in it, and therefore a highly unlikely scenario. De old copy and paste and bot scamming is something I broadly understand.

I work in IT Security. I think the main problem from BOI's point of view, is they do send text messages with adverts and information in them, including links. This practice has desensitized some of their clients, which means when the scammer spoofs the source text message people think it's really from BOI.

Spoofing SMS source addresses is trivial.

Edit: Haha, just after writing this I got a cold called scam purporting to be from Amazon.

Yes. A few have made such allegations that it’s an inside job so to speak as they say.

ButtersSuki

What’s the development?

generalgerry

Why is he trying to link the two topics?

This could be very good!

Busi_Girl08

Why should the CEO apologise for a scam?

ButtersSuki

There’ll be an apology for that comment, so Mr. Duffy Will have anudder breakeen again.

I'd rather that they apologised for running the bank into the ground and requiring us to bail them out.

Maybe the CEO should take a day off and on that day get somebody else to make an apology on their behalf!

It seems technology is not for everyone, actually a lot more people than I thought.

They are not in BOI's IT system, how can Joe say this , you gave them your passwords. FFS

HOW MUCH WAS ROBBDEDD!

DoctorEdgeWild

This is unbelievable stuff. Joe totally living in dream land. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY!

dvcireland

BOI will be closed by 3pm

Has there or has thee not been a hacking? Is what I would like answered.

If there actually had been one BOI definitely owe a duty of care, if people are just falling for a coincidentally arriving text message without coming from BOI's masheen, then they don't, although they should keep reminding people not to click on links.

Kalimah

They are not in their IT system!!!!

Yeah I think that is a good description of the problem.

There is no hacking - number spoofing is the easiest thing in the world.

Good to have this answered by our IT folk here, because I wouldn't have the first clue how to do it myself. I'm sure it's easy when you are motivated.

If you are receiving a confirmation code from a company, some new phones autofill the box for you...but you still have to confirm the transaction

It’s inshuredance, with a “d”. And if you don’t claim at the end of your policy you get all the money back.

Wow - RTE solicitors on red alert ??

gmisk

Clearly BOI have an issue as well to some degree....any calls about another bank?...... but there has to be some personal responsibility...look at the sender...look at the web address ffs!!!

Busi_Girl08

Didn't someone call in last week to say they got the text and they aren't with BOI?

ButtersSuki

Please stop saying car keys you muppet.
