I did something with my Bosch washing machine (not like the OP). My washing machine is at the other end of the house from my home office. Sometimes I would put a load of washing on, and despite setting an alarm, might forget (perhaps I am in an important meeting etc).

So I decided to solve it.

Using the Bosch API - I can tell both when a cycle is complete, and if the door is open. Currently I use their default version, but there is a local hosted option I'll be switching too now the proof of concept works.

So using Home Assistant I have a simple script that detects when a washing machine cycle is complete AND the door has NOT been opened. This implies my washing machine has wet clothes still in it.

So Home Assistant will alert my phone (and my wife only if she is home based upon presence detection) once every 15mins that there are wet clothes waiting in the washing machine.

Very simple - works perfectly.

I'm from Australia.

You dont want to use us as an example of internet speeds or leading the world on anything in this space.

Our internet infrastructure/speed etc is considered sub optimal by many. It is (slowly) getting better - but it has been years of lost oppoutunity.

Excluding the part of how the access was gained (i.e. fault of end user etc) - I would have thought Stripe would have far better security measures in place for obvious signs of fraud?

If someone changes the bank account of a business for funds to be sent to - why not have a short (?48 hours) delay in allowing funds to be sent there. Especially if the business has been running a while (not sure in this specific case) with no bank account changes - then its not unreasonable for a built in delay for new accounts to be used.

Coupled with some basic stuff of "new bank account, new express accounts, spike in charges, sudden request(s) for withdraws" seems like something that a smart team in Stripe with their development experience could easily implement as an automated security trigger, and hold the funds pending additional security checks?
