How prevent iMessage receiving TANs from mobile banking?

Hi all,
in online banking it is customary to use two-factor authentication by sending a mobile TAN to the user's mobile phone. Now, with the SMS integration of iMessage that came with the Yosemite update, these TANs are also showing up in iMessage. Surely this presents a great security risk, since the user might running the online banking session on the same machine where the TANs are received.
Is it possible to prevent this? It would be sufficient to exlude certain senders from the iMessage-SMS integration.
Cheers,
Martin

Hi,
I am not sure what to suggests as the SMS items I get as adverts from my phone carrier are identified.
If a TAN is entering the SMS system somewhere  it should be blockable.

  • How do I keep Firefox from saving bank account data?

    How do I keep Firefox from saving bank account data? I'm running Win7 64-bit. I can't seem to keep Firefox from saving bank account data.

    Also, could you clarify what you mean by "saving bank account data"? Here are some places that Firefox may save data you have viewed:
    ''Firefox's cache:'' Generally speaking, Firefox will cache pages you have viewed so you can go Back to them unless the server instructs Firefox not to store them, or designs the page to reload and check to make sure you are still logged in.
    ''Session history:'' Firefox saves information about your session for purposes of redisplaying your open windows and tabs (and recently closed windows and tabs) in the event of a crash. If you want to restrict what Firefox saves, there might be some settings you can modify, but it depends on your concerns.
    ''Form autofill:'' If you have the form fill feature enabled, Firefox will remember data you enter into forms (usually excluding passwords). This can be turned off, or completely cleared, but there isn't a convenient way to remove just some of the data without an add-on. For example: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/form-history-control/

  • How can I receive calls from Skype number

    Hi, my step-dad has just bought a Skype number.how can he receive calls if he doesn't want to log on using his laptop, for example, can he connect on his mobile or can we buy a phone and connect it to the wifi modem in his house? if he can buy a phone, what phone and where can he buy it?   

    Hi, does your step dad have a smartphone or tablet? If he does he can load the Skype app and connect to the wifi in his home.If he doesn't have a smartphone then look into getting an Android smartphone from wherever you buy phones from in your country. An entry level device will be sufficent if you don't want to spend much money.  You can buy a Skype compatible regular phone but they are not cheap and have to be connected by ethernet to your home router http://dualphone.net/ Another option is to forward his Skype number to his landline (if he has one) and answer the calls there, then use his laptop to make outgoing calls when needed. A subscription would cover this quite cheaply.

  • How to stop receiveing emails from email account?

    Hi have a new pearl 8110.  I have it thru AT&T.  I have it configured thru BES.  I receive work emails thru the BES.  I was experimenting with the personal email and set it up to receive emails from my personal earthlink email account.  I decided I do not like that set up since I am unable to set the BB up so that work and personal emails go to separate folders (the personal ones will go to a separate folder and the general email folder and the work emails go to the general folder only).
    At any rate, I want to delete the earthlink email account from the BB.  I deleted it from the servicebook, but I still am getting emails?
    Any idea how to remedy this so that the earthlink emails stop showing up?
    Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Go to E-mail Settings icon on your home screen. Login using the user name and password (if passoword used while setting initial setup).  Go to Email Accounts under services and hit the delete button under the email ID that you want to delete.

  • How best to receive photos from PC users?

    How can I receive photos in Apple Mail from a PC user who says photos have been either attached or embedded in email? There is no evidence in his email of an attachment. Any guidance for me or that I can offer him would be appreciated. Thanks.
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Hi Jim
    The photos should just show up the same as if a mac user sent them. If they don't show up, it may mean either:
    1 that your friend forgot to attach them
    2 that your friend is behind a firewall that's been set up to strip away attachments (which is an annoying way of trying to stop the spread of viruses), or
    3 that you are behind a firewall that's been set up to strip away attachments
    There is one other possibility. In Apple's Mail, if the Junk filter is in training mode, and it thinks that the mail is spam, it may not automatically load the images. When you view the mail from your friend, does it have a brown stripe across the top and is there text saying something like "mail thinks this is junk mail"? If so, then there should be one button so you can mark it as "Not Junk" and another button to "Load Images".

  • How do I synch calendars from mobile me to the iCloud on the iMac, iPhone and iPad?!

    I have the imac, ipad 2 and iphone 4 - all are updated to ios 5, lion and have just moved from mobile me to the icloud.  I am having no end of problems synching my calenders.  Ical on my iMac is perfect however when I sync with my ipad, birthdays and subscriptions appear twice even though they are a single entry in ical.  Some events are completely missing on the ipad calendar and since upgrading I cannot even use the ipad calendar to delete events even though I have tried resetting it.  In the ICloud calendar there are no birthdays or subscription events showing up at all, most of my events from years ago are missing yet all events from the last year are there.
    When I enter an event into my icloud calendar it does not show up on either my ical on the mac or ical on my ipad.
    When I enter an event on to my ical from my mac it does not show up in the calendars in either the icloud or the ipad.
    If I enter an event on to my ipad calendar it shows up in both the imac and icloud calendars but completely disappears from the ipad calendar!
    If anyone has any suggestions I would be extremely grateful - I have spent so much time trying to figure this out - every upgrade seems to bring a whole new round of problems and always with the synching of calendars!

    MobileMe was terminated more than a month ago.  It's too late to migrate from it to iCloud.
    If you have migrated, then your @me.com and @mac.com still work and refer to the same account.  Are you saying that calendars on MobileMe are still showing up on your mac?  They shouldn't.  There's only iCloud now.

  • How do I receive emails from China?

    I receive emails from China on my Mac all the time but for some reason they won't download onto my iPhone.  Why is that?

    Is the email account a POP account?
    If so, what is the account setting with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account to remove messages from the server after being downloaded by the email client?
    The iPhone's Mail app can't download email from the server that is no longer available at the server which is the same for every email client.

  • ISync receives changes from mobile phone but stopped sending changes

    Trying to sync this morning with my Nokia 6682. Everything has been working perfectly until today. iCal receives changes from the phone and makes them on the calendar but the changes in iCal are not being sent to the phone. All the iSync log says is that the sync failed. The phone connects to iSync and starts to apply changes to the phone and then just zips to the end and gives me the error.

    Hello, I've read that you have write about "iSync agent" what is it?
    I would like to say that the address book start to run (but I don't know why) but the calendar still not...
    Very strange...

  • How do you receive data from multiple people on a single port?

    I am trying to make a server where it receives the data from multiple users and then send it back to them all- multicasting audio to be exact. I tried setting it up but when i open the RTP session i get "can't open local data port" if i have more than one used connected to me. Does anyone have a solution? I didnt find much on the samples page and the multicast example from http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/apidocs/javax/media/rtp/RTPManager.html
    didnt help either- i used the same ipaddress for the initialize and addtarget but i get "Local Data AddressDoes not belong to any of this hosts local interfaces". I am really in a pickle... If anyone can help me out that would be great!
    EX: If A,B,C want to multicast they will all send to Server S using port 3000. Server S will create listeners for each of them using port 3000 and when received data it will send back to all of them at 4000. This is what i am trying to do... should i make multiple threads? would that help? thanks and please help!

    To send to everyone, you can send to a multicast address (choose one from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255), on a given port (2000). I don't have any code example here but it should very similar to unicast. As you said, you just have to register the Session and add a target with this same address.
    I don't have any example myself, but you should find code example of both server and client around. It is a very common usage of jmf rtp.
    I don't know how to mix several audio streams together (never had to do this), so I'm afraid I can't answer your other questions, sorry... The only way to know if it will slow down the transmission is to try. :)
