My bank always asks if you are using a public wifi, not sure how that effects looking at the acct and security. I would tell her to make sure she logs off and closes the web browser completetly. She can also have the bank but a security monitor for unusual activity just as you would do when traveling or traveling overseas. I would also change my bank password maybe several times if it is a long stay and when she returns home. If she has a smartphone and the bank has an app they tend to be a bit more secure. At least they have to give a password to access the wifi better then a public use and maybe ask the question security.

Well, she cab always take her money out of the bank and put it under her mattress. That should solve the problem.

Hi All,

I have a friend who is going to have surgery soon and then will spend several weeks in a nursing home.

She plans to bring her Mac laptop computer that runs only the Mac operating system (OS X 8.5). She also will need to check her bank account every day or so. The nursing home provides free Wi Fi and will give her the password in order to sign in.

The question I have is can she safely check her bank account? What security should she implement on her Mac in order to do this?

Thanks for any input you may have on this,

Jane
