Not likely! Hey sorry for your loss. I think you proved my point though. It was not any high tech super hacker breaking into your accounts but some wingnut with no idea of how to act responsibly. There are millions of people who use online banking, online brokers, and online storage of their account information every day with no issues whatsoever. I use my car even though it is more dangerous than walking. I use my phone even though people can listen in. But if you don't know how to drive, don't buy a car. I certainly take appropriate precautions to mitigate the risks and the effects of an incident with my online accounts. I agree that you should not go online with this information as it would drive you nuts worrying about it.

Uh, I don't do One Step Updates. I enter my transactions manually and reconcile manually. It doesn't take long and I actually enjoy it. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: news(a)netfront.net ---

It was so much fun. I haven't experienced it even once in the years since I set up downloads for all of my accounts. -- Jim

Banks and financial institutions are subject to stricter regulations and regulatory oversight when it comes to security of customer information, than, say a mint.com. It wouldn't surprise me if you're one of those people that publishes their personal information on Facebook too. Here's a buck. Go buy a clue. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: news(a)netfront.net --- |
