How would a bank stop you from getting taken to the cleaners if an outsider got access to your bank account in malicious ways?

The point is that is a little bit harder and more traceable than having to manage files(all your money) yourself. There is at least a semblance of security and the bank/govt will make good if someone breaks into the bank and steals all the cash there.
