My bank send me a "Secure Cisco Message". That I think was In response to a web message support request. They didn't tell me in what form to accept the response.

It was a message with instructions to save the .html attachment to your hard drive and open it there. It included tons of obfuscated Javascript.

Without opening the message I replied back and told them "Nope. We're not going to communicate this way, this is irresponsible and dangerous."

Yep, they couldn't have made that message look more like phishing if they tried - including poor HTML formatting of the email body. This is how you really know that GPG has failed.
Please understand, I never said the Secure Cisco Message was actually good lol
