1. How often are people saying their bank login on their phone calls?

2. Is there a way for phone call man in the middlers to get that info without wasting a ton of time listening to calls? With internet MITM it is very easy to set up a program that scrapes unencrypted login info.

Have you ever called into a bank or brokerage? Most ask "security questions", often ones that you can't even choose, like your address or how many accounts you have with them. It's arguably far worse than speaking your password into the phone.

Automated speech recognition has been around for decades. Even before that signals intelligence agencies have shown that widespread wiretapping/eavesdropping is possible and effective.

Its about threat levels I guess. I was man in the middling passwords in high school without knowing much of anything about technology. Setting up speech recognition alone is a task that most people are incapable of doing. If youre worried about the type of people who can set that up you probably shouldnt be giving that info out on a phone call.

If you were MITM is HS- your modern day equivalent is way stronger than you think. Easy for kids to clone voices and deepfake these days. Anybody can ask any one of the free chatbots out there for a step by step guide to implement this- they will even write the Python script for you, tell you what IDE to download and how to run it out of the terminal.
