It really can be a shock to realize your GMail account has stronger security than your bank account. But in most cases it does. Banks are slow to strengthen security because it costs $$$

"In other words, the banks aren't doing more because they don't have to. And so as long as they maintain zero-loss guarantees against fraud, and the amount lost to fraud remains relatively small compared to their deep pockets, the banks won't do anything more to protect you."

Two-factor authentication is not infallible, but it makes it much harder for a criminal to gain access to your account (or attempt to do so undetected). The danger is very real, especially for small businesses. If hackers gain access to your account and transfer/wire funds out – you generally cannot get those funds back. Unlike credit card fraud. This is why it is so important that your accounts AND computers be secure. Worried about your computer and network security? IT Xpress can help!
