The news earlier this month that cyber thieves were able to nab the contact information and credit card numbers of about 1 percent of Citigroup’s customers has made credit-card holders nervous. And why not? Data breaches in which criminals are able to hack onto the online homes of major banking companies have become distressingly common.
