I'm no expert but maybe the latest version provides better protection options like 2FA?

Two factor authentication has recently been put to the test and failed against some new criminal techniques / recently released hacker software. It involves intercepting the info and then reposing as a fake site, or similar. So best be careful at all times there's still no substitute for a cash in hand transaction where you can inspect and test the goods for sale. Nowadays you can have fast and convenient transactions, they're just not as safe as they could be.
