Re: Banking security
something to be learned from the above
I'll take magnumpi's 'helpful' advice with his 'LMGTFY' infomation & that from others (discard what I don't think is relevant) to say that I will never ever use a smart phone, or take my computer to do anything personal on it in a wi-fi public place, that I will never shop on-line, do any 'stupid gaming' or 'App downloads' & definitely 'never do on-line banking', because if I did I would know from this thread that there is a chance that I could get hacked.
.
What an eye opener eh!

Re: Banking security
If you don't use email transfer, maybe check with the bank and see if that function can be turned off for your account?

Re: Banking security
I am not sure, just thought it could be an option if you didn't use the service. I know banks (some anyhow) can turn off other services to accounts like tap and go type payment where a pin isn't required, thought email transfer could be the same.
