Even when not, when you are stealing access to (conservatively) hundreds of thousands of bank accounts, even if you only manage to steal $100 from each one this results in a massive cumulative theft (all of which the bank ends up being responsible for).  Your delinquent credit cards are irrelevant and not all of us are delinquent or have balances.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 4th 2008 5:55AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/11/03/sneaky-trojan-horse-swipes-data-on-500-000-bank-accounts/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/11/03/sneaky-trojan-horse-swipes-data-on-500-000-bank-accounts/</guid><description><![CDATA[They already know everything about us all.

They are both free.  I have used them for years and never had any problem at all.  I am also surprised at the number of people that do not know how to do simple computer upkeep like Windows Internet Explorer:  (Tools>  Internet Options> Delete> Delete All...> Yes), Disk Cleanup, and Disk Defragmenter.  Keep these things going and you will not have to deal with spyware and viruses and slow-downs and the like.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gene]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 3rd 2008 9:49PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/11/03/sneaky-trojan-horse-swipes-data-on-500-000-bank-accounts/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/11/03/sneaky-trojan-horse-swipes-data-on-500-000-bank-accounts/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have solved the identity problem by having two computers.
