I think it is a great thing that companies will have Financial penalties when they do not protect our personal data. I only put stuff online that I know could potentially be exposed in the future but we often do not have a choice who holds our personal financial information.

Staying up to date with quality firewalls and virus protection is also a huge factor when trying to protect your personal computer from outside attacks. I highly recommend Eset nod 32 it has keep my computers running smoothly for a decade and was among the first to develop anti-virus software.
