Its not like the file has an inbuilt authentication system where x-no. of failed attempts locks you out.
Ok let me explain a really simple concept to you. In the time it would take you to hook your nook up to my computer and transfer the file I could have 100 valid cc numbers with name and signature.

Hackers, theives, and similar disreputable individuals do not go for the hard score unless its a challenge, the pay out is worth it, or they are REALLY freaking bored.

So worrying about this is rather silly and a total waste of time even bringing up.
