    Why would anyone use betterment anyway? What do they actually offer that's even remotely attractive?

    Email from Betterment one hour ago:

    "Important update regarding unauthorized message

    Earlier this evening you may have received a message referencing a crypto-related Betterment promotion.

    This was an unauthorized message sent via a third-party system we use for marketing and other customer communications. Please note that this is not a real offer and should be disregarded. We apologize for any confusion."

    I just got this Betterment app notification

      They just sent out email about the scam. I was so annoyed that even after opening the app, the notification icon still persists, wondering if the hack on the notifications exploits some loophole in the Betterment app
