This is a comforting story. Basically, that little lock icon in your browser indicating that a site is safe and secure (like your bank or brokerage house) might not be accurate.
The best advice is to keep your "secure" online transactions to a limited number of sites YOU trust. Consolidate accounts so you don't have money or investments at various sites. Bottom line, no system, regardless of Operating System (OS) is impenetrable. Hackers these days are going after the browser, not the OS. Keep your internet security software updated, as well as your browser. Don't just sit back and think all your software will keep itself updated.
