well it's common sense that when you send your computer or laptop in to be fix, you do a backup and you erase all your private stuff from your hd after..

Knowing myself, I wouldn't do either of those things. I kind of retarded when it comes to computers. Usually, if something goes wrong with the computer such as HW or downloading something important, I get really frustrated so I either bang on the computer or just take everything out on my surroundings. I think I have mental issues *bellow*

. Anyways, yeah there is always hackers and syco-paths on the loose to get everyone.

Hmm, this is pretty scary. Still, better be safe than sorry, right? Anyway, I get my father's workers to fix it for me. I don't think they'll do anything to my personal information. Anyway, otherwise they'll get fired keke.

Some online bankings don't save passwords cos of fraud and fake accounts.
I'm pretty sure that is the case due to the advancement of today's technology...

It also depends on the bank that you are with. Some banks don't have that password protection or a proper digital signature sight..but yeh, at the end of the day, it depends on the bank that you have transactions with as well.
