Please help me make choices. Thanks.

Security is the major concern for many people when using online banking services. They are especially worried about hackers intercepting their personal financial information as it is being transmitted over the web.

In the above sentences, is there any word, or are there any words I can use to substitute "intercept" in the case? How about "grab", or "steal"?

I think "steal" sounds better, but "grab" might work too.
