More and more people are using their mobile phones to make banking transactions. According to a March 2014 report released by the Federal Reserve, the number has risen from 28 to 33 percent in just one year. The report also showed 87 percent of the U.S. adult population has a mobile phone, with 61 percent having a smartphone.
"Mobile devices have always been a target for cybercriminals," said Elaine Dodd, Oklahoma Bankers Association vice president. "As more banking transactions are conducted on them, the more cybercriminals focus on them. Oklahoma community banks are working hard to protect customer information and customers play a significant role in keeping their information safe. It doesn't matter what type of device it is, if it is connected to the Internet, it is at risk for an attack."
