So in laymanspeak, what do people with mponey in thier bank accounts do.
Withdraw it all, hire a gooney with a gun to gaurd our gold stuffed matresses?
Is this going to force the wise to shy away from credit.
I doubt that the whole sky is falling. I am much less security savy than most
of you but the general impression I got is that it is going to get a whole lot
worse,
with some of the other comments it looks like certain systems will be harder to
crack, but it will get real bad before suits switch from M$ to OpenBSd.
The main concerns of people like me are what about the identity theft problem,
and what sort of pressures does this put on our present monetery system.
I would hate to see politicians say that in order to be safe we have to trust
them manage our money with thier solutions.
