I have to agree with Ricardo. There are risks no matter what form of commerce you engage in, but digital commerce is generally more secure and efficient. APple would not have gone in this direction if it was not a benefit to them and their customers. Sony screwed themselves and in all fairness and as I have always said, any computer connected to a network is subject to being hacked. The issue is really being on top of your systems and always watching for these issues. THis does apply to companies as well as individuals.
