[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1916097, member: 396914"] Who is "them" that are sending these messages? Typically, older machines and older versions of the OS on the are not updated with the latest threats to security. Hence, the warnings about doing financial work with them on the Internet. According to MacTracker, you are at the maximum on the Operating System for that hardware. One way to be a bit more secure when dealing financially is to use a VPN to encrypt the communications from end to end. But don't get a "free" one, because there is no free lunch here. Free VPN providers have to make money somehow, so they may well share information about your connections. Not the traffic, per se, but just the fact that you connected to XYZ corporation for NN minutes on DD day. Opinions vary on VPNs, but I have been using NordVPN for a while now and it seems to be very good. Not free, but it does work. I have no financial interest in NordVPN, nor any relationship with them other than being a satisfied customer. I don't know if they have a version available for your system, but it might be worth investigating. [/QUOTE]
