I'd call that an interesting theory but not a proven one. Surely they'd not be vague after knowing of the issue for at least 2 years? The fact that many people can/could do bank > "Wallet" transfers via their phone app also casts doubt on a tricky-wording theory. Perhaps, but just as they surely wouldn't be vague after knowing for 2 years, there's no way absolutely NOTHING could be done in that same amount of time.  "For Security Reasons---" sounds suspiciously like they know SOMETHING but cannot say.  The phone app, much like other apps that extend from websites, work differently in that it may be possible on the phone app because of how the app operates.  Similarly how there's a bank app that allows you to cash a check simply by taking a picture front and back but, as far as I know, there's no desktop equivalent.   You're right though, I can't prove it and it really is just a theory. ...
