I have never allowed any salacious or financial info near my phone. Not that there is much of anything to dig up that I don't already talk about if asked. Originally I heard the heads of very major Silicone Valley corporations say publicaly that they would never be able to make the "cloud" safe from hacking. Then I worked hackers conventions. Nope, nope, not putting any data on my phone. Pretty much no one else I know feels this way. So now I need to be able to do some kind of electronic payment for my events. Probably Zelle is my best choice. I won't do Pay Pal for historical reasons. Any suggestions on how I stay safe? Use a burner? Just saying I only accept cash is probably not viable. Yeah, I know, I don't work hacker conventions any more and I'm not living in a city where people capable of hacking my phone/bank acct walk past every few minutes -- but. Oh, and yes I have individual, different passwords for absolutely everything.
