Hackers Attacks Against Banks More Effective Than Ever

Just as I recommended getting as much of your personal info off the cloud as you can to protect from warrantless perusing of your  personal data, you must figure out how to minimize your exposure to the ugly ramifications of your bank being successfully attacked by hackers.

Most of us think because the banks are big sophisticated institutions, they must have a handle on security. They don't.

Make sure you have enough cash in hand to be able to pay your bills for a week or so. Have multiple accounts in different banks with your money spread between them, so that you aren't likely to be completely separated from your money if one of the banks you do business goes down for a few days.

With the fiscal machinations many governemnts are involved in that allow them to potentially confiscate your property, it's a very unsettling time. We have to think about protecting ourselves from the "bad guys" as always, but now from well intentioned but extra-legal "good guys" too.

We live in VERY complicated times.
