I’m not an expert.

Here’s my story:

I used to have a Paypal account, which I used quite a lot. About four months before I quit using it, I started getting very professional phishing attempts. Unlike the clumsy ones, they were addressed to me, spelling my name correctly (which is more unusual than it is for most people). I never fell for it, but it got to be so frequent that I cancelled the account, and won’t have one. I don’t trust their security, if they get far enough in that they have information enough to construct a good enough phish that it came close to fooling me.

In another story, a credit card number was stolen - but that took place at an actual store, and I’m still royally irritated about it. I’ll never buy glasses from those folks again.
