Once upon a time, I was pretty immune to any bank phishing attacks. I’d get mail that looked to be very legitimate, purporting to be from Bank of America or USBank, and I’d think if I were more gullible, I might fall for that.

That I didn’t is attributable to two factors:

  1. I’m pretty savvy when it comes to these things.

    2. and

  2. I didn’t bank with those guys.

The second one doesn’t seem to hold true anymore, since because something like 90% of the banks in the United States are now owned by about two or three entities, I actually do bank with these guys now.

It’s annoying. Today I was targeted by not one, but *two* phishing scams through two different institutions. It’s crazy.

Luckily, I still have #1 up there to protect me. Well, that and my office toad.
