Manitoba RCMP is warning the public about interac e-transfer scams that are becoming more prevalent. In these instances, the victim receives an email which appears to be from someone trying to send them an interac e-transfer. At first glance it appears legitimate and when the victim clicks on the link and enters in their banking credentials, the scammers are able to steal the banking login information. This gives the scammers access to the account which allows them to withdraw large sums of money. Scammers are becoming more and more sophisticated, so extra caution is needed before you accept an e-transfer.

This is one of the many reasons that banks should stop being hostile to password managers. Browser-integrated password managers significantly help protect against phishing because my username + password won't auto-fill on the wrong domain. So I need to take my time and look up my password. Which will at the very least make me suspicious and give me extra time to consider what I am doing.
What do you mean banks are hostile towards password managers? I have yet to find a bank website or app that gives bitwarden any issue. Prior to LastPass becoming total shit I never had a problem with them either.
It is thankfully becoming more rare. But I have frequently seen some hostile behaviour.
- Not marking password fields as such so that they don't get filled.
- Blocking pasting into login fields.
- Requiring using some sort of on-screen keyboard to enter your password (or more often PIN).
- Requiring enter some characters of your password rather than the full thing. (ex please enter characters 1, 8, 2, 4 of your password).
Time to name and shame that's some of the stupidest shit I've seen in a long time.
I know ATB so a Treasury not really a bank but they had an infuriating way of logging in as well.
After dealing with the big 4 I ended up using simplii for a while and they seem alright.
