The most current banking hacks took place over a period of 2 years.. over us$1 billion was stolen.. so if you think that 'time-consumingly difficult' is a deterrent to hackers think again.
You think 128 bits cannot be broken? May be impossible for the average basement hacker to break. but are you aware of large hacking groups? hacking groups that are privately and in some cases government funded...
If you know these things.. then stop thinking and posting like an average Joe that would have no in-depth knowledge on the subject matter..
If is revealed tomorrow the the 128-bit encryption that TLS v1.2 uses is broken or can be cracked, the internet as we know it would be finished. None of hacks you cite occurred because they broke TLS (or even SSLv3), they happened because of social-engineering, inside help, and weak encryption ciphers (SHA1) on database stores. Also those databases where downloaded and stored off-line to get the time needed to crack the keys. A web-server wouldn't keep any TCP/IP connection alive long enough for an encryption key to be brute-forced.
I kindly asking you to think properly, Google if you have to, please ease up with these stupid arguments.
