## Resource

Cash App’s security flaws exposed by state AGs, including NY’s Letitia James, let fraudsters create fake accounts—even using names like Elon Musk—with just a Barbie doll photo, bypassing identity checks. Users, many without traditional bank access, relied on the app for paychecks and benefits, but were targeted by scams exploiting lack of phone support and weak verification. Block Inc. agreed to pay $45M to states, plus prior penalties totaling $225M, as users suffered financial harm and scammers thrived in the app’s lax safeguards.
