Having never done banking or bill-paying online, I've never been hacked. While I do shop with a credit card (and NOT a debit card! only use that for ATM transaction at my own bank) online, I watch that card religiously! At first sign of a hack or theft, account gets closed, and I get a new one. But I've never had to--I'm pretty fastidious about using trustworthy sites (I don't consider Amazon as trustworthy.)
