>And if you use an accountant instead, what software does your accountant use, and does the publisher of that software claim rights to exploit your financial information? As it turns out... our CPA sent out a cryptic email saying there “has been a hack”. Turns out the accounting software they use, that company had some malware and “they assure us” that no client data was accessed but the software will be offline for awhile until they figure out what happened, so they don’t really know. It doesn’t matter how careful we are, or how carefully we select our CPA or how careful they are. I mean, if it were up to me I wouldn’t hire a CPA that used cloud network accounting software, but if I applied that rule everywhere we’d have offline XP machines.
