Quickbooks online is attractive - and frightening, because it is a multibillion dollar target for the world's cybercriminals. I presume it is mostly "protected" through security-by-obscurity. A week ago, a friend sent a link to a security blog. Many doctors in New England had their accounting hacked; the crackers filed tax returns in their names with the IRS, with refunds sent to cracker credit card accounts. Can anyone using this share a link for a believable cryptographic analysis of Quickbooks security? Quickbooks on a WinXP system is insecure, too, but in a virtual on a Linux machine inside a firewall, perhaps a little safer.
