I laugh whenever someone tells me that they never buy anything over the internet. Their reasoning is that they're afraid of hackers going after online transactions. It seems to me that most of the serious security problems reside in the places that keep your money or access to your money, such as banks, credit cards, or even businesses such as Anthem, etc.
Another problem that I've seen from banks is that they all use Microsoft Windows for most of their employees. That's got to be the worst OS in terms of security. Not saying that you can't break into other systems, but it is so much easier under Windows.
