Most of the reports I've seen of an account being "hacked' is from an attack into the banks or companies main computer system and not through your day to day internet connections. The hackers get into the main computer system and get access to information for thousands of accounts. So even if you dealt only in person with the bank, they set up your account on THEIR computer and maintain all of the records on THEIR system. So if a hacker can get access to THEIR computer, your information is at risk whether you've used online transactions or not. Just a thought.
