Another example of the stupidity of using the internet for things it was designed for. When will people learn a net is just a bunch of holes held together by string and a cloud is a bunch of holes held together by vapor.

My concern is not the "popular sites" mentioned.

My concern is for sites that I need or must use for banking, healthcare, or other day-to-day life management. Especially when I am given little or no choice beyond "online".

E.g., cannot make a credit card payment because the site or bank is being DDOS'ed. And there is a $$ late charge applied thereafter.
