    What’s the security benefit for banking on mobile?

    Ah ok so the consensus is to be wary of public networks especially free open networks as they can be spoofed and a MitM or traffic sniffing.

    So it’s good I have my wireguard vpn on all the time calling home to my home network then I assume.

      Spoofing mobile is at least an order of magnitude harder than spoofing wifi. It pretty much guarantees that those who spoof mobile are either government agencies or people with enough money your pathetic little bank account is irrelevant to them.

      That’s for now. It is only a matter of time until spoofing mobile is at least as easy and cheap as spoofing wifi is now.
