[dba-Tech] Protection for phones

[Ed Tesiny]

I use my phone primarily for email but texting is becoming more popular.  I
do bank deposit what few checks I get.  More and more web based businesses
use 2 factor ID and that is primarily texting.  I may  have some builtin
AV, never checked and after probably 20+ years of mobile phone use, never
had an issue.  I use Android.  BTW, I'm guessing but would think nowadays
more phones than computers.
