Leon, you and I seem to lead parallel lives. I've had the same experience on a number of occasions. Maybe I'm getting old (well, I am...) but some people need to learn basic maths.

I'm not sure how much protection that gives you.
I have a savings account with a card but the bank still pays when its overdrawn!

The card we have is like this, I need to by something from someone, it costs 60.00 dollars I transfer 60.00 to that account and only that amount.

If it all goes astray I cant lose anymore than 60.00, works for us, no issues ever.

I have an old phone which no longer supports my bank’s app.
No biggie, I just log in on the tablet. Either or, I guess.

Some instructions for cyber security 101 form the Australian Cyber Security Centre: https://www.cyber.gov.au/acsc/view-a...st-steps-guide. Hope you find them useful.

Some very good advice indeed, thank you.
