Safety

Is Android safe to use for banking and investing?

Terry Says

YOur Android operating system really has nothing to do with online security. What you need to be sure of when using your technology is the security of your WiFI connection. So you wouldn’t do online banking using WiFi at a restaurant or library! But if your home connection is secure, there is nothing to worry about.

Now you’re going to ask if your home connection is secure! Do you have a grandchild who can advise? Seriously. If you live in an apartment building or condo, they likely have all kinds of security. But I can’t tell you from here.
