    Hi, someone that worked on banking stuff in the past.

    You are not safe, nothing is even half as secure as it should be and you are most likely just using a web based front end puppeteering a much much older system. The browser you are on is normally the second weak point after your own dumb self and I have not even heard of one case (not saying there are none) of a OS related vulnerability with online personal banking.

      I’m with you there. It’s all layer upon layer of vulnerability and false security, and then at the bottom of all of it lurks the Ken Thompson hack.

      Still bad advice to tell people it’s okay to use an explicitly vulnerable OS, I think.
