Default Oper Mini Security Risk - 07-08-2008, 04:11 PM

For what it's worth, I keep Opera Mini off the family phones for security reasons more than UI and rendering reasons.

Here is a post from another site regarding Opera Mini Security:
Quote:
When using Opera Mini, all web traffic between your device and the site you are attempting to navigate to passes through Opera's transcoder server. To illustrate the severity of these implications, consider online banking. When you use Opera Mini to check your bank account, Opera will have access to all information, including passwords, account numbers and user names.

Many website and online retailers have made the decision to disallow access to the site with Opera Mini because of this security risk.
