I am still irritated by the lack of some of the useful new stuff in the later OSs.
Sure, and you can obviously do more frequent backups so that you can recover gracefully if you do get infected.
I have also setup my banking so even a successful hacker is no more than a minor nuisance.
May I ask how you accomplished that?
The account where my cash is is never visible to anyone. All they can ever see is the transaction account which never has much of a float in it, so that even if they loot that, its just a nuisance until the bank restores what they looted from it.
Even if someone quite literally holds a gun to my head and forces me to give them the bank details, they only get the transaction account details and again, its just a nuisance until the bank restores what they loot from that.
Thanks for that, but I'm not sure I'm with you. Is the invisible account not online? If it is, how did you render it invisible? I'll understand if it's a technique you'd prefer not to share.
It is online.
None of the account details or even that I have that account is on any device that can be hacked. And access requires my fingerprint.
That?s not a problem.
That is fascinating. I was under the impression (possibly fed by the makers of anti-virus software) that there's no such thing as device which, when connected to the internet, cannot be hacked.
I wasn?t saying that, I was saying that none of the devices that are on the net have any details about that particular account on it.
and which is made more vulnerable by installing anti-virus software! But where did he say it was connected to the internet?
My apologies to Fred: I misunderstood.
No problem, I can say things not very clearly at times.
