I thank you sincerely for you kind words, it means a lot, especially at this time of year.
Indeed, what can we do. I have a feeling quantum computing will solve this problem. For although a quantum computer can break codes they can also create unbreakable ones. Within 20 to 30 years we will have a a quantum internet and it will be 100% secure. Until then, as you say, all we can do is try to be better with passwords and hope that people begin to demand more secure communication technology.
Merry Christmas my good fellow and best wishes for 2018.
