Who can hack our database server? 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
