It's the end of the world!!! Aaaahhhh!!!
Seriously, though: I always take as many precautions as I can against this kind of thing, and I will certainly continue to do so. But, you'll have to forgive me if I don't run around like my hair is on fire upon hearing this. It's a serious problem - no doubt about it. I just think people tend to get a little hyperbolic when assessing these kinds of threats.
There are many dangers when it comes to your personal information online - and as far as I can tell, there always will be. But, some common sense and a few precautions can go a long way to keeping your data and your finances safer. (I doubt that they will ever be completely safe ... anywhere.)
