Swish is a proprietary app that’s like the Swedish equivalent to Venmo. It needs to die, and there’s been a glimmer of hope lately since apparently kids are using a fake version of the app to rob and steal people which is wrong (don’t do that) but the Swish app itself is even more wrong.
But this is also a caveat for Taler which isn’t as evil as Swish is (besides how the entire market capitalist system is misguided) but might have a similar vulnerability.
Here’s the news snippet (in Swedish):
En falsk Swish-app har den senaste veckan använts vid flera betalningar i Varberg, enligt Hallands Nyheter.
Appen ser ut och fungerar precis som originalet, bortsett från att inga transaktioner faktiskt genomförs.
