A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I dislike Google as much as the next guy and I agree that you really shouldn't use Google authenticator cloud sync, but the real problem here is the large amount of crypto. A scammer would have a much much harder time extracting it from a bank and even if they did it would likely still be reversible.
