Are you sure the whole account numbers were in the text message? Doesn't sound right to me. I use WaMu (now becoming Chase) and when I text for my balance I only get the timestamp, last 4 of acct number and balance.
I can't see any bank providing the entire account number via text message. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Todd R.

I was alarmed at the fact that I saw a payment confirmation to a bank account, with the amount, and accounts in plain text. I know Chase does this as we have all seen the TXT chase, and they will reply with your balance. It shows everything in plain text. Didn't know if anyone else knew this or not. Just a heads up - be careful who has access to that data wherever it's stored.
