With all the (valid) discussion on the 'Net at the moment re: FV's announcement
and secure commercial transactions in general, we should not lose sight of the
fact that _no_ online transaction can ever be vouched as 100% safe. Computers
and their ilk are inherently insecure.

All we can hope for is that we can put in place mechanisms which are
sufficiently
secure so as to make the exercise of getting our financial information far more
expensive than the rewards reaped for doing so.

Lets face it..there are far easier ways to get your client info,
credit card details etc. than breaking in via the Internet.
