8. Games are a threat for sure. Banking / transactional apps are too.

The apps themselves may be relatively safe. But anything on your phone is prone to be intercepted. Let's say you check on your bank balance in a coffee shop. If one isn't using best practices, the password to your bank account could be intercepted, then a person could use that from a different device to get into your accounts.

I have tablets, phones, and laptops that I use on public WiFi. The only apps I put on those devices are things that have no connection at all to my financial accounts.

But then, I still pay for many routine things using cash, just because when I charge something, I immediately get bombarded with ads that seem to have no end. For some reason, Big Data thinks I have been looking to buy gutters and a new metal roof for years. I have not searched for either in over 5 years, but the ads still come.
