We can't stress enough the importance of keeping your data secure - online and offline. The hours of work to restore a website that has been hacked are many, and the cost can easily be thousands of dollars. It's important to make sure your web site or e-commerce shopping cart is using the most recent version and that all patches and updates have been applied. The cost of staying up to date, and thus avoiding hacks and data theft, is much less than the cost of having to restore a hacked website and the cost of unhappy customers.
