Tech advice you can trust™ |
Quick tip of the dayIt’s almost impossible not to run into cybersecurity issues like malware, viruses or phishing sites at some point online. Instead of using one computer for all your web activities, setting up a separate device for online banking will help keep your most sensitive data secure. Use this machine for one thing and one thing only: Accessing your financial accounts. No email, no downloads, no browsing. We recommend picking up a Chromebook. These inexpensive laptops use Google’s Chrome OS, which is essentially a glorified web browser. You won’t be able to download games or run Photoshop on a Chromebook, but you can easily do all your online banking on one without running into trouble. In fact, it’s good that Chromebooks are relatively limited for this purpose. Tap or click here to see Kim’s guide to setting up a financial Chromebook. |
