[QUOTE="Deleted member 65228, post: 709562"] See, now I know that you do (or at least once did) own a PayPal account! A PayPal account which while may be empty, could be linked to a bank account... Or a phone number, in which the SMS provider can be called and socially engineered into handing me control to your network, which could then escalate into defeating any 2FA for password resets. All theoretical but people really do this on a regular basis for testing purposes and make good success (and pay from their experimental work), and criminals do this sort of thing all the time. Earlier today I read about T-Mobile being socially engineered last year and it led to some poor bloke's 10k-20k worth of BTC being stolen. [/QUOTE]
