Yes, you could stake out his mail, checking it every day for 2 weeks and stealing his mail, then yes you could sneak into the yard and tap into his NID and make the phone calls from his phone line to order and activate the new cards.Easier to just bonk him on the head and take his cell.

(Assuming he's not VOIP or Wireless...) It's possible. Sure, it massively increases the chances of getting busted as well as adding lots of extra federal charges to the crime spree. It's also much more unlikely, and even if someone went to all that trouble, he'd still not be liable.

Really, I'm sure Suntrust was satisfied it was him.
Do you really think a criminal cares?
There's lot's of money to be made from having someone elses card.

Let me guess, for you "good authentication practices" Is the inconvienent crap like Bank of America SiteKey and I think chase has one where they have to call your home phone # and you have to enter a PIN # the first time you use a computer to login to their site.

Suntrust has none of that useless crap to protect stupid people against themselves. I visit their website from any computer and login with a username and password... nothing more. It is the ONLY bank that let me use a 7 character password actually... every other bank forces you to use a 8+ character password.
sitekey is a picture that authinticates the site. thats it, its STILL just a username and password to log in. its just an antiphishing tool.

now if your refering to the OPTIONAL changing pin code on a card thats a different matter.
+ answering 2 questions the first time you login from that computer, after you clear cookies or login from a computer and choose not to remember yourself.

If they ONLY added a picture and the phrase I could care less.
your kidding right? i have no problem doing that as obviously they want to make sure its YOU logging in. for crying out loud i have a catalog credit account that does the exact same thing.

now i could see if they required say a 128 character password.
or hey, a PGP key.
or maybe use your computers mic for voice print authentication ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Praise-SunTrust-Bank-23305839 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 10:51:34 EDT Re: [Praise] SunTrust Bank http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Praise-SunTrust-Bank-23305059 said by The Pig:

No BS with PIN #'s and account security questions, just verify your account info.My chase business credit card is like that, they see the number im calling from, just say activate my new credit card and its done.
-
on the other end of the spectrum is wamu activation, they act like i'm applying for a job at the NSA or something with all the info they want including the last 3 purchases i made with the card and the amounts.

[he wants the replacement card to his address, and it has to be activated first before use. I don't see the problem here.
So, if I know where he lives and he has one of those streetside mailboxes (hardly anyone locks them) and I order a replacement card all I have to do is wait a few days then wait for the mailman to drop it in his box and walk over and take it.
I see a problem!
When I activated a new card all I do is call the number on the card.
Damn if he's not at home at that time I can also break into his house and call from his phone then rob the place.
I'll take a bank that ask a million questions over one that doesn't anyday!

How do they know it's really you calling?"just verify your account info." He didn't specify what he had to verify. Also, it helps if you call from your own phone. Try calling in from a phone that isn't on the account and watch the security alarms go into hyperactive.

Also, he wants the replacement card to his address, and it has to be activated first before use. I don't see the problem here.

In the world of banking, saving stupid people from themselves is important to preserve financial stability for the nation in these times. In the world of computers, I like to often see stupid people burn themselves, but banking is a bit more serious.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Praise-SunTrust-Bank-23304095 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:07:52 EDT Re: [Praise] SunTrust Bank http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Praise-SunTrust-Bank-23303629 said by thedragonmas:

That alone would flag concern for me. The other things like not forcing accounts on you and speaking to an actual human sound great. However, I would not give business to a bank that fails to take time to verify my identity.

I misplaced my check card and called their 800 #, pressed 0 and it actually connected me to someone and in under 2 minutes had a normal natural-sounding conversation and my replacement check card is on its way. No BS with PIN #'s and account security questions, just verify your account info.
