(Reuters) -The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on Thursday ordered payments firm Block to pay a penalty, citing fraud and weak security protocols on its mobile payment service Cash App.
The regulator said Block, which is led by Twitter Co-founder Jack Dorsey, directed Cash App users who experienced fraud-related losses to contact their banks for transaction reversals, which Block subsequently denied.
