   Its also like bicycles in that a thief wont spend time on a worthless   
   kids tricycle. When there is a carbon fibre mountain bike parked next to it.   
      
   I literally have nothing of value to a thief anywhere on any system. At   
   worst, I might lose a small amount of money in a bank account, before   
   the bank cried 'foul'. Every single financial transaction these days   
   uses 2FA and and SMS to my smartphone.   
      
   They would need both.   
      
   And if I lose the smartphone, there are no banking details on it whatsoever.   
      
   That's all done from a desktop.   
      
   As I said, I personally am simply not worth hacking except as a botnet   
   member.   
      
   I am thank Clapton, supremely unimportant in the grand scheme of things.
