Guys... these phones aren't for people like us anymore. The days of computers being just for techies who like to tinker are over because the market for "normal" people is so much larger, and the causal user just wants to text some people and watch some videos. They neither want nor need the things that we consider fundamental, so don't get frustrated that the shiny stuff now isn't aimed at us.

Seems like the guy in the article was a bit stupid and did the exact things that banks tell you not to like giving personal info and 2FA codes to a cold-caller, but also that Revolut's claims of biometric security didn't stop the scammers nicking all his money. I've not had much experience with the "challenger banks" but apparently Revolut gets the most complaints by a long way. Anyone got any similar stories?
