All your access info should be encrypted and most banks takes on the liability for on line banking. They should monitor the computer the sign on comes from, and notify you when a different system logs in. We have an account at citizens that both my wife and I access from different computers in Virginia. Every time we log in after the other system has logged in, we have to answer security questions to gain access.

I have done on line banking from all over the world including Malaysia and China and have never had a problem. That said, I also buy an identity protection service that covers this issue. For almost all transactions, Internet banking is very safe. Problems have happened, but it is usually more around careless users.
