Is it true that public Wi-Fi is safe for online banking?
Unclear. The retrieved items offer only partial, indirect indications that public Wi-Fi carries security risks relevant to online banking, such as a title warning against banking on public Wi-Fi and a review noting man-in-the-middle attack vectors. None of the items directly evaluates whether public Wi-Fi is safe for online banking, so the evidence does not settle the claim either way.
