In the latest episode of Unseen Money, Timur Yunusov and I discuss how to stop a bad dream turning into a real nightmare: when a phone snatcher has your mobile device and is trying to get hold of your money as well.

We cover:

• How a phone thief can access your bank accounts
• The security of contract and non-contract mobile phones
• Best mobile phone security practices and what to keep safe at all costs
• Multi-factor authentication and avoiding single points of failure
• Stopping a phone theft from becoming identity theft
• Face ID or touch ID to authorise payments?
• The unevenness of payment apps’ security
• Why little can stop the determined hacker

We also refer to these New Money Review articles in the podcast:
