How long until Mint.com gets hacked?

It has to be a huge target with all the data they have. I can't see how they make enough money to buy the highest level security programmers, either.

Always wondered this

I'm completely guessing, but perhaps their security also piggybacks on the security for each individual account login that you have. Also, to my knowledge, they only gather the information, rather than give you any "editing" authority. I don't believe you can do any transactions through their interface, but I could be wrong.

i believe i read that mint stores your password and info within the same website that many of the top banks use for their encryption....so if they could get to your mint password, they could also get to a lot of other, maybe even more attractive ones

Mint was bought by Intuit. If Intuit does not have the security skills, then no one does.

You are correct. You can't conduct transactions through Mint.

I'm assuming that if you have the skills to hack mint, you might as well just go ahead and hack the bank. Skip the middleman.

Mint would be more attractive to hack b.c it has a variety of bank accounts.
I feel confident that mint.com has been hacked in some way shape or form, but almost every major website has. Not sure if account information got out or not.
