Early in the morning, there is an OTP sent to my handphone for a purchase done in US with my credit card. Likely I had purchased a book from that website before. Decided to cancel that credit card as I have not been using it for about 1 year.

It won't take 70,000 years to hack. With the coming of quantum computing, the elliptical crypto used in crypto currencies will break them in no time.
