I only want to know if I compromise security or risk anything vital if using a generator instead. Which method has the higher risk/likelihood of turning me into a victim of online crime? Rates of online crime are exploding. Possible that Europeans in general are more sensitised to that than Americans. Wouldn't be the only thing.
For what it is worth Sky, I don't trust online banking myself. Unfortunately, it is the future, and wiring it in to your cell or smartphone is already on the way to being the next big thing.
