Are you worried about credit card fraud?

How safe is our data - in particular our financial data? Can anyone access our bank account or credit card and take money without us realizing until the next statement is due? Should we worry about these things?
Thank God for Jupiter!

Take a look at this news story: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/22/science/space/22jupiter.html
Jupiter was hit by a big meteor last sunday "leaving a bruise the size of the Pacific Ocean near its south pole". What interested me is the last quote:
The Narrow Door

It's amazing how you can turn a minor frustration into something positive. This morning I was going to work at the Whitley site, where the car parks are on the outside of the campus and you have to go through a security gate to get in. It was raining, so I had my umbrella, lunch box and my laptop case. I didn't have enough arms. I arrived at the gate which is a very narrow turnstile, and helped the lady in front of me who had got her handbag stuck in the turnstile.
