Banks have evolved some very secure systems for online banking.
I don't remember hearing or reading about someone's account
being "hacked" due to the account being compromised.
ATM cards and credit cards yes ... but not the secure
online banking systems.

A couple of weeks ago I used my old Win 7 laptop to log onto
my account at the bank I use most often.Â* I hadn't used it
to access to the account for quite a while.

It wouldn't let me in at first because it didn't recognize the
computer.Â* They sent a code to my cell phone number on record
that I had to enter in order to gain access.



That will also happen after a routine Windows update.
