#3  If you pay no other attention to your personal cyber security, heed this: Don't do banking on your phone. Don't use your phone as a credit card substitute.

#2  Last three years have been bad but this year so far the worst. Three small businesses hacked with passwords changed. They were told 30 days just do cash transactions. One business up in four days. Individuals of all sorts hacked as well. Food stamps, $300 in bank gone. Answer your phone and question, is this so and so?. If you say yes they have your verbal OK recorded and you have been sold whatever.
