The NSA has access to all that stuff. Don't know if private hackers do. Yet.

If your credit card info is compromised, that's a serious problem for the credit card company.

If your bank account info is compromised, that's a serious problem for YOU.

I don't trust online financial stuff. I've had too many viruses on my own machines and read too many stories about hackers to think real money is safe online. Credit cards, I don't worry about. That's not my money. But bank accounts are real.
