I'd trust the data with a (real, not online) bank more than most other companies like Google.
I'd be more worried about people hacking into networked security camera DVRs at stores and cafes and extracting image data from there. Multiple angles. Movement. Some are very high resolution these days. Sometimes they're mounted right on the POS, in your face. Sometimes they're actually in the top bezel of the beverage coolers.
Banks are the hardest way to get this data, not the easiest one.
Good point. I’m still wary of just assuming (if that’s what we’re doing here?) that old established organizations you’d expect to be secure are in fact secure. For example I would have expected credit rating agencies to be secure…
Mandatory reporting certainly helps IMO. Reporting should be mandatory for anyone handling PII.
No bank is going to run such a system in house. It will be a contracted service whose data is one breach away from giving fraudsters a firehose of data to exploit their victims.
