Hang on a minute. All the reports I have seen say that the data on the server that was stolen was heavily protected. There are plenty of data encryption and security tools out there which would take even the CIA with all its computing power many years to crack. Given that accessing just one account online requires a userid, a password and a one-time security code from an individual token I have a high degree of confidence that the security and encryption in place on this server is sufficient that whoever stole it will be completely unable to extract any data from it.

And from what I've read all they would get if they could is get names, account numbers and transaction details.

If someone wants to get hold of that information about you there's a much easier way: simply steal your monthly statement from your mailbox.
