	They've been operating since 2015, had a data breach in 2022
resulting from a phishing attack which netted some personal data (about
5000 people) and a bug in their US payment system that let them (not their
customers) lose $20m. Note carefully that neither of these was an
infrastructure attack.

	Pretty small potatoes compared to say the Capital One data breach
in 2019 that let 100 million credit card application details out or the JP
Morgan Chase data breach of 83 million accounts or the Experian breach of
24 million customer's personal details or the ransomware attack on the US
branch of ICBC (that's the world's biggest bank) or Flagstar bank which has
had three data breaches in the last two years or the IBM Moveit data breach
earlier this year that leaked medical records of 4.1 million people in
Colerado. It's even small compared to Bank of Ireland's 22 data breaches
over six months leaking personal data of over 50,000 customers.

	I'd say the evidence is that their security stacks up pretty well.

	As anyone involved professionally in data security (hint that
includes me) knows the vast majority of compromises these days result from
social engineering (various forms of phishing) not technical issues.

	Peruse this https://tech.co/news/data-breaches-updated-list if you
don't believe me.
