Hidden KYC: How Banks Silently Track Your WiFi Network

Full article: https://telegra.ph/Hidden-KYC-How-Banks-Silently-Track-Your-WiFi-Network-06-15


This is a long-form investigation of how modern KYC systems use WiFi positioning, BSSID tracking, and other invisible signals for identity verification. Discussion welcome — we're especially interested in counter-detection techniques and vendor behavior.

This is an interesting article that should probably be in /privacy instead of degoogle. It doesn't say explicitly but the surveillance vector sounds like it has to be a bank app running on the user's phone. Obvious remedy is never install that type of app. I've managed to do that so far.

Added: oh I see, this thing is spammed all over the place. Downvoted for spamming.
