bastards!!!! thanks for the warning....

 

Nothing on the net is 100% safe but I*ve been online banking and investing over a decade and I consider it very safe. Most banking/stock/mutual fund sites invest WAY more money in security technology than average sites e-commerce sites like ebay and paypal. That plus the FDIC insuring your money on banking sites should put your mind at ease. For example, with etrade, I use a digital security ID that randomly changes the code each time I log in.

 

What about banking...from your cell phone? I've seen that advertised and don't think I would want to.

 

I don*t know about that one voodoo since I don*t do it so I*ll let someone with experience answer that but generally speaking I like to wait for the security to catch up with the technology before I do it .. phone banking is still a bit new for my tastes and I don*t want to be the guinea pig.

 

The problem with managing funds online is not with the protocols and applications themselves, most of the time, but it is with the users. I think ATMs are pretty secure, until the user gives out their PIN number or uses something dumb like the last 4 of their social. A system will only ever be as secure as the users operating it. I have accessed my bank account from my phone while at an airport. When using a device like that, my bank requires additional verification methods.

 

No offense taken at all bro. I just never want to be the guy beating the dead horse.
