I was not thinking correctly and you are right about DNS but it goes back to the same issue of why do you think B of A techs would not be aware of this and have me change my password.
Unless you have done their job I do not think you have the knowledge they have. So it does not matter if I know DNS or ISP because B of A wants to protect me and would make sure I was protected if I like it or not or if I understand it. These post to suggest B of A do not know how to do their job by suggesting I am wrong are ridiculous. Provide some evidence and I will give it to B of A if it is something we did not already discuss.
