I sent my bank a fax to tell them about my change of address. They sent a fax back, asking me to phone them. The lady I spoke to, said that they couldn't do it from a fax, they needed an email. I asked why; she said that it was so they could be sure it came from me.
Apparently, anyone can send an fax, but if an email has me in the from-line, that proves it came from me. And this is a bank. And we wonder why there's fraud ... _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
