Actually, Hackers have gotten into Xbox consoles and stolen peoples gamer accounts.
See this is where the Xbox360 did it right. I'm ok with using MS Points because I can purchase those point cards in stores and they have no actual monetary value.
My PS3 doesn't have my credit card info stored on it, for just the reasons you mentioned. I always buy the cards at Gamestop and enter the codes to get my credits.

I can keep going...did the PS3 screw it up as well? yes. Is MS above reproach? Nope. But at least on the current system I can set it up so that it goes to a dummy email account with no real name attached to it with no financial information attached to the gamer profile etc.
Doesn't seem like you will be able to do that on XB1
