For example, in New Zealand: https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/110009318/a-honeypot-for-fraudsters-or-a-simple-way-to-pay-online

That's 3 years ago, and nothing has changed.

As far as I can tell, the 3rd party system has to have your online banking password, because nobody can figure out a reliable way to give a description of a one-off or regular payment in a format such that you can enter it yourself into your online banking without making a silly mistake.

All we have so far is this press release: https://www.med.hku.hk/en/news/press/20211215-omicron-sars-cov-2-infection

If the numbers in the graph are total growth in 24 hours, then omicron=10000 & delta=~140.

Calculate log(10000)/log(10000/70) = 1.86

Ie, omicron grows 1.86 times as fast as delta, or 86% faster.

That's significant, but 1.86 is a whole lot smaller than 70.

(If the numbers in the graph are something else, then we actually can't tell what the ratio is.)
