Banking on smart phones is safer than banking on Windows, and far safer than banking on Linux
this is patently false. smartphones leak all sorts of data about you on a network that desktop computers, regardless of OS, simply don’t, especially if you use a hardened web browser like arkenfox, phoenix, or librewolf
Your research: “Linux subs and communities”. You LiGNUts should stay out of tech conversations because all you know is propaganda. “All Eyes on Code” finally died. -the rest needs to too.
what are you saying right now? you’re not making sense. i work in securing networks for children’s data though. and there’s nothing we can do to get the kids’ data safe if they access our systems on our phones so we recommend chrome on a desktop computer because we presume they won’t have the technical knowledge to harden a browser and chrome is set up, by default, a little more securely (though not as privately) as firefox
first result, specific to banking, i got from a forensic expert:
Randal Wolverton, a certified public accountant who serves on the American Institute of CPAs’ Forensic and Litigation Services fraud task force: “My preference is to bank with computers in a secure environment, as thieves may find smartphones more attractive to attack,” he says.
Since smartphones travel with you, they give fraudsters unique opportunities. If a customer is standing in line at a grocery store and decides to check her bank balance on her phone, someone could be looking over her shoulder and guess the password. That kind of situation is unlikely to arise when banking on a computer at home, Wolverton says.
this is pretty in alignment with our forensic research for network hardening when it comes to kid data, too. a phone is just a snitch that lives in your pocket. the less you do from it, the more secure you’ll be. you should really only be doing critical things, like banking and logging into your labor or educational institution, from trusted hardware on a trusted network. phones are fine for looking up business hours, interesting tidbits, and the like, but you shouldn’t do anything you specific that matters to your life if you can help it.
Lol, pick out why tiny possible scenario where it’s clearly user fault, and ignore the mountain of other issues with full blown browsers. Browsers don’t even safely save passwords by default in Linux. -They’re stored as plain text files.
NEVER SAVE YOUR PASSWORD IN BROWSER REGARDLESS!! holy shit!! it’s like you actively seek bad behavior patterns to prove your point. you should disable saving passwords as one of the first things you do when you install a browser, regardless of OS. i recommend using keepass for users who really care about privacy and security and 1password for users who can’t be arsed to learn this stuff
Conspiracy theorist crap that most people aren’t using or need. -But it does go back to what I said about apps on smart phones being safer huh? -I am addressing the normies you LiGNUts try to recruit, and not the paranoid hacks that Linux users are.

You didn’t try a search engine did you? -Why didn’t they test you for that before hiring you?
