[QUOTE="upnorth, post: 951077, member: 38832"] Most employers in my country, always supply the hardware. It's similar working clothes for factory workers or anyone with a " risk " work that must have certain protections, but I know this is different in different countries because of Union agreements etc. Basically speaking, yes you could loose your bank and credit details. Extra so if your employer save those in any system that your unaware of. I seen that specific a bit too many times in articles posted here alone on MT. Local machine/system settings and software with tweaks that supposed to help you against anyone and anything, sadly just won't help when for example your bank itself gets attacked and hit by hackers. You personal can't do much about that specific, but at least you try and ask. (y) In my book that's called vigilant and smart and hungry for correct information, not paranoid. Your on the right track with using one of your laptop separate for this work. Just try to minimize the amount of personal info that you must use also on that machine. Other then that, I already see you utilize a SUA ( standard user account ) and that works great most of the times. It can be a bit harder with local attacks ( phishing, scam etc ). [/QUOTE]
