    From what I understood, many banks in the US are still making use of insecure 2FA methods like via SMS. Or they don't use 2FA at all! Think of Amercian Express and E-Trade. Very weird, you would think that most would have adopted 2FA via security keys, hardware tokens or authentication apps.

    Also, mobile banking is a complete joke, even over here in Europe, 2FA is not used at all from what I understood. Which makes phishing attacks more dangerous. On the other hand, when people are really making dumb mistakes, I can understand that banks don't always want to pay. Because certain people give hackers full access to their PC, via remote control apps.
