Not to start an OS war, but there might be serious reasons to do banking with another OS.
+ How easy is it to see all the processes running on your machine?
+ Is it easy for you to limit the permissions of your browser?
+ Is it easy to monitor weird network activity?
+ Do you have some idea about the security standards of the software you use? This does not say that it needs to be open source, there might be other ways.
+ Do you have the right setup to receive security updates.
+ Do you restrict yourself to non-mainstream software to reduce the chance to be a target?
+ Do you consider read-only media at the time you do your banking?
There is a lot you can do without opening up your computer to a remote scan.
- hopelesslytaken 9y agoI will take your advice and use another os and computer for banking, but the problem is that perhaps the router is pwned and so there is no secure wire to operate.
- hopelesslytaken 9y agoCompletely off topic, I saw your 150 days old link: Why does unsupervised deep learning work? (arxiv.org), I wonder if you have more links, it seems interesting. Also the Diaconis article you link to is one of my prefered one. I wonder if group theory can help to illustrate why deep learning works.
