Re: getting a new iPhone, some help needed, please
Yes. Or the blind gal who couldn't talk to his bank over the phone because the mindless gorp at the other end heard a second person--presumably a sighted person--reading out the account's card details to her, for relay to the bank.
The essential lesson from all these stories of woe is that, sadly, "Security" is theatre, more often than not. Pretty crappy theatre, too. Authentication is the only criteria. If the mechanism used for authentication is inadequate, then the "Security" is completely and utterly fscking meaningless. Unfortunately the reality is that people are too eager to share their card numbers/PINs/passwords/whatever which leads to all this bollocks and, as with so many things, those willing to actually invest real effort into securing themselves (and their independence) are the ones most hurt by it. Truly sad.
