NOBODY, because it is not connected to the internet at all. What we do is: call our email several times a day. The moment the email is here, nobody could touch it any more. And who should intercept billions of emails flying around the earth and just exactly find YOUR credit card number and misuse it? You sooner win the 100 million lottery jackpot! We think all talk about insecure email is complete nonsense, at least as long as you pay at the next gas station with your credit card! Why is it safe there by any means? How do you know that the attendant does not sell all the data secretly each night to some crooks? Ever thought about that? BS
