[SOLVED] A question about security

Unread post by JoeyG » 2018-07-06, 10:11

Assuming one is using the latest version of each, is there any significant difference among the PM release, PM unstable, and Basilisk in regard to security when it comes to online financial transactions such as banking and purchasing things?

If you had to choose one of the three for these activities, which would it be and why?

I'm not looking for "deep" technical information here - which I wouldn't understand anyway. I'll be quite happy with some general observations.

Thank you very much in advance.

None whatsoever. They all have proper up-to-date standards for secure transactions and secure connectivity.
