Is no RPG fan safe. I've had my data stolen so many times this year I'm surprised I haven't shown up buying a yacht in Russia yet.

My bank account is evidence that I am completely safe from identity theft.

The fact is, I wouldn't be surprised that a ton of people who have their data stolen don't actually end up getting ripped off, because the sheer volume of data theft that happens is so enormous, there's probably bigger fish to fry.
Your lack of missing funds might be due to sheer luck, or because there are bigger fish than you to fry (or maybe your credit rating sucks or something...).
Meanwhile, here at theRPGsite we're dedicated to keeping your financial information secure! To help you keep it safe we don't have any form fields where you would put sensitive financial data. Instead, I ask that all members please send me their credit card numbers and banking information directly to me via PM.

That's more the case of all of the above. I'm small fry, got lucky, and because of being crippled and on a government stipend, my credit rating sucks.
