"I don’t do a computer budget, so my financial records aren’t really on my system, so they’d mostly be hacking my kids’ book reports and our extensive collection of family vacation photos and videos."

Anyone who accesses their bank account, brokerage account or uses a credit card over the Internet is also at risk.

That is true; I’m especially nervous about online banking; I have one credit card I use for online stuff that I can cancel anytime I need to;

But those two things would be a risk no matter how secure I make my home network.

We have one card just for transactions via the 'net. It has a very low limit on it so if it gets clipped, damage is limited.
