No one except me has access to my cell phone.  It requires my fingerprint to use it.  More importantly, I do all my banking through my bank's which requires my 9 digit alphanumeric password.  I feel more secure doing my banking through the app than I would if I went to the bank.

I do not.  I think a desktop (or laptop) is more secure than a mobile phone.  That's generally speaking, of course, and assuming the computer has decent anti-virus software.

Good grief....NO!

If anyone thinks their accounts can't be hacked into when you bank on-line or use the app, you are sadly mistaken.

Anything electronically that we use can be hacked.  If they can hack into thr DOJ, your computer or phone is child's play if someone really wanted your info.  That's why it is essential that you are very careful with emails and texts that you receive that have links imbedded in them.

Have good anti virus.  Keep a sharp eye on fraudulent websites or apps that aim to steal your credentials.

if you are using your phone to do your banking, never ever use it on public wi-fi.  If you follow good online protocols, your phone is secure.

I use online banking without any fear.

@TwinkleBell Do you?

[bonnielu]

Desktop only.  I cannot carry it around and invite everyone to hack it. My cell phone, no idea where I might be and it might just be a hack waiting to happen just by position.

@TwinkleBell You go first, then I will answer.
