Is there a good combination of hardware and software that can improve PC security? I have used different security programs and have had security issues. Any thoughts or comments appreciated. Can software alone give adequate security? Thanks
I've had numerous attacks on everything from credit cards to my brokerage account. Fortunately, my brokerage stopped them all and asked if they were my transactions and this is in the six figures. Some credit cards have been hacked before we even took possession of them. I have a friend who uses a program on his Apple phone that requires a confirmation picture of him with every transaction. Also, one of our banks will send a confirmation code to complete a transaction. Is there anything like this for Android? It would be nice if the same could be done with my laptop. Any thoughts or comments appreciated, THANKS.
If you wanna minimize such things remove bloatware in windows and switch browser probable Firefox with ad blocker or brave don't use chrome those ads in sites just increase the attack surface. You can also use DNS based add and malware blocking using Cloudflare.
Change your primary email as well if you can and update it chances are they are in the wrong hands.
