...thousands of personal computers in England were infected with the malicious Zeus Trojan. Using it, criminal gangs gained the personal logins to thousands of bank accounts, enabling them to transfer money to accounts under criminal control.

Any guesses about which computer operating system proved to be so vulnerable it permitted penetration and access to personal financial data?

They all are vulnerable, IMO.

I still pay my bills with checks. Won’t do anything financial on the computer.
