Should you use a separate computer for online banking?

Comments

1. Jonasnilssonxo: seriously don't need some fancy banking computer to protect me, but I guess it's better than nothing
2. Elin: people still get tripped up by passwords
3. Hollow Oracle: Honestly can't imagine why anyone wouldn't use a separate browser extension or some security software if they're genuinely worried about their accounts being hacked - seems like overkill to isolate yo
4. Talia: Honestly I've never been sold on the idea of separate "banking" computers but it does make a point that people often ignore software updates when banking online
5. Selim Ibrahim: people still fall for the outdated software part though... you think that's gonna change anytime soon?
6. Elin: it seems like a dedicated device is only one aspect of secure banking, what about the person's own habits and vigilance around passwords and software updates?
7. Diegow: doesn't it just make sense to keep sensitive stuff separate?
8. Theo: the isolation is just the bare minimum, don't put all your eggs in that one "dedicated" basket
9. Isla: I've used a separate machine for banking just to keep the peace with my wife – she's had nightmares about identity theft
10. Ember Shard: at least some parts of online security are taken seriously these days. wouldn't hurt to isolate bank stuff, but honestly still feel like people should learn basic password management if they can't
11. Echo Warden: What's the point of an isolated banking computer if outdated software is still a risk?
