      Mine can do push but it also requires a code to be inputted from wherever the log in point is. Sounds like either shoddy MFA or incredibly dense users.

    I got one of these scam calls saying they were my bank and they saw suspicious activity on my account and just needed me to read back the numbers on the SMS message they were about to send me to confirm they reached the right person.

    Um, no. That’s not how that works. But I realized just about everyone in my less tech savvy family would have done it instantly. I called everyone I could think of and warned them never to do this but I have no idea if it really sank in.
