Is online banking safe?



The banks themselves are highly secured, but the weak link is your own personal computer. The risk is that if a hacker is able to break the codes on your pc, he can use your account and pretend to be you. When this happens, it’s very difficult to persuade the bank it wasn’t you, although everything happened through your computer. If you want to protect yourself from being robbed, here’s a tip: a big network of computers, like at work, is in most cases safer than your home computer.
