Hmm,
I think the reason you pay bills online is the same as the reason you use
credit cards and telephone banking. i.e. that the banks tell you it's secure
and nothing for you to worry about. If you think banks know anything about
mathematical patterns or even elementary mathematics then you maybe want to
look up 'sub-prime' rather than 'prime' :-)
