Who checks their mortgage while they're at a hair salon?

Or walking down the street? If there's one thing I don't want, it's my sensitive financial data out in the open. If you use Rocket Mortgage or any of the other unnecessary apps like this, you might as well just wear a sign that says "hack me".

and using an unsecured wifi connection. That's just asking for trouble.

And, old school that I am, I don't have any banking info on my cell, just my laptop.

I also have a wifi hotspot that I use in unsecured settings when traveling.

And I'm sure doing all this makes me 3% safer, but it gives me peace of mind.

I saw a Rocket Mortgage commercial last night and I was just laughing at the sheer ridiculousness of that product. I'd never use an app to pay a bill.

I saw them top rated this past week. I guess easy friendly has a price
