I don't use public computers, nor have I disclosed my account number, so it's a bit of a mystery..
with four digit pins, and millions of account numbers, i can't imagine it wld be a difficult job for even simple hackers, maybe the solution wld be an additional layer, like other sites, say answering a question the member has elected, mother's maiden name or other.
