Assurances given at websites does not match up to reality when it comes to the use of credit cards or banking information online. Access to information is becoming an epidemic. Why should anyone believe their account identity and funds are secure? I watched with shock and awe recently when a national correspondent gave two men in California her name and in less than 15 minutes they told her everything about her self including, SS#, account #, city of transaction, how much money was used in the transaction, exact address of bank involved, down to exact date and time of the transaction. That blog on the TV scared the living daylights out of most of us who want to trust electronic transfer of financial information. Not any more will I believe it! Neither should anyone else who does not want to get their identity stolen or their accounts ripped off! An epidemic of theft is rampant in our world targeting those who have access to credit card records and health records we have been told were secure. Assurances are being called into question and rightly so. Maybe keeping our funds and health records under our mattresses is about as safe as our institutions, based upon current breaking news!
