Great Suggestion, thanks!
I followed up... but the answer I got was not very useful. Customer Help Desks. Gatekeepers. Non-technical CS staff. Second-handed, relayed information. No real answers.
The short answer is that the bank is continuing to support W7 in the meantime and will not just suddenly pull the pin. They will let everyone know before they stop support. Awesome!
They led me to another page of 'helpful info'. Recommendations only... Linux is not even listed as a recommended OS, merely:
"Windows® 7 or above
Mac OS X 10.10 or above" and a list of supported browsers.
That's really all I got.
Welcome to the Age of Mediocrity!
I guess the banks are not losing enough money through malware, viruses, hacking etc to worry too much about it. OR, it falls back on the Customer, via the Ts & Cs. No doubt, they log all the browser and OS version data with every login, but when it goes bad it's all covered under Confidentiality clauses so we don't hear about it.
If anyone else has comments, I'd love to hear them.
