Such an excellent post put up by @great-a . I must admit that when it comes to this aspect in general there is nobody more perfect than the other. I might be a good guy with good intention to handle my life and business properly but with just a click I can be a subject of discussion. Remember that when money is involve everybody will always want to comes to come for your head because they think they can't fall into such category. Truth be told this is the hardest task to undergo when it comes to business handling, remember with just a click you are gone.

Absolutely you are right just a click either by a mistake the person become the subject of discussion and that is why we need to be extra careful especially when are are in charge of sensitive information.
