This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I used to use Privacy.com and Mint until I did some looking into Plaid. They present a login screen that looks like your bank and you assume they're doing some kind of OAuth. Nope they're just taking your full banking credentials and you have to hope they're safe. I think Plaid is a ticking time bomb. When it gets hacked a lot of people will be in trouble.
Are you sure about Plaid? Because jesus I've signed in through Plaid many times.
Yep (and I had the same reaction).
From their privacy policy.

Oh Lord. I have all my money in one account and have used Plaid on it. If it were to get hacked, I would be ruined lol. Not a lot of money but that's all I have.
Thanks so much for telling me this!
