Looking through the Sprint Update page I came across this app, Mobile banking.. Has anyone download it yet? any Reviews?

Well, My bank is not listed as one of the providers so I can't post any reviews.. I'll let the lucky ones with their institutions listed for that!!!

HAHA what decade are you living in? The 80's?

It's extremely difficult to intercept digital cellular transmissions in a usable form. And even if someone did... it wouldn't matter because everything is SSL encrypted.

That's what I was thinking. I wouldn't think that banks would be part of mobile banking if there wasn't any kind of security!! Most major banks now do it, and lots of stock traders are doing mobile trades!!

The actual phones/accounts were hacked due to poor passwords, but it's near impossible to capture and decrypt cellular signals unless you were part of the phone company. Even then the SSL encryption of the packets would still be uncrackable by whoever had access to the raw packets.

HAHA! I didn't know Twitter uses SSL for login... oh wait, it doesn't.

Oh and BTW rocket science is easy if you know what you're doing!

Moral: don't use Twitter for your mobile banking...
