I refer to your X'mas message/ advert of which I have a printout.
Regretfully, I am not high-net-worth and cannot afford additional fees for IT security. As you are possibly aware, according to the Telegraph (which I sometimes now read) more is spent globally p.a. on IT security than on international aid.
As it stands, there are some IT companies incl. government agencies which are assisting; however their knowledge is as you are possibly aware, very limited.
I no longer presuppose that even the experts in a particular field have knowledge about everything. You therefore need to know that your personal bank a/c's are not secure; for several years my accounts in Zurich, Scotland and Sri Lanka (all global banks whom you are familiar w/) were hacked into. These banks are HSBC (HQ in London not HK), UBS/Union Bank of Switzerland (offshore Zurich; Swiss citizen's not domicile in Switzerland are forced to be offshore), and Bank of Scotland (following the subprime mortgage crisis it is the Lloyds Banking Group plc, the largest retail bank in the UK tough the Scots retained the original name. In the case of HSBC, the criminals came right into the heart of me home. The ATM/Automatic Teller Machine kept my visa card after my 3d attempt as a new card had been made internally, and when funds were withdrawn by my maid, her husband and 4 other men on 9 occasions in the span of a mere 24 hours, I did not receive text messages (which are sent after withdrawals!) as the last digit of my cell # had been modified from a 1 to 0, and which I personally witnessed on the bank's computer screen. The criminals now deny in open court that the several hundred CCTV images are not them.
I repeat, this could happen to you. You may convey as appropriate.
Kindest Regards
