I try my level best to be as security conscious as I can be...that is all any of us can do.
When something of this nature happens, it brings the security issues into focus and should make us all look at how we try to remain secure. You can always seek advice from the technical bods at the bank.....most of them seem to be clued up young men.

The problem is, Margaret, however careful we are, if the companies we deal with aren't they leave all of us us wide open.
How many banks have been breached in the last few years?
