I know that, it's just the idea of even having my bank account there that I
don't like. I know I don't need to use it, but it only takes 1 good hacker
and everyone's info is in trouble. they can say they're 100% safe, just like
I can say when I set my burglar alarm when I leave the house, my house is
100% safe, and with the dog here too, but fact is, I'm sure if some one does
it right, they can still do a bit of damage. There's no such thing as 100%
secure or safe. Especially not in the computer world. You can come close,
but there's always a way and there are always people sitting around trying
to find it.
