Around a dozen banking applications have begun whitelisting GrapheneOS by name, allowing customers on the privacy-focused open-source Android operating system to use them. Commenters note the irony that banks, among the most security-conscious institutions, were the last to accept a hardened open-source OS, and the news is being welcomed by privacy and free-software advocates as a sign of growing mainstream recognition.
Why now: It marks a notable shift in institutional acceptance of a privacy-focused open-source mobile OS by security-conscious banks.
