I to have been hit by one of these web sites, mine was called "github" they only took 7 us dollars but hey thats a start, do nothing and they will come back and take more I'm told, my bank also lodged it as theft and I had it back in a couple of weeks, worth taking a good look at your statements guys.

I assume these thefts are from bank debit cards, that is, bank cards with a visa symbol that are not actual credit cards. I had a friend lose her entire savings from one of these cards.... she got it back but was without cash for two weeks.

That is correct, mine is a Master card direct debit.

Yeah, unfortunately the debit facility allows thieves to skim your account using just the card number. I won't use them for that reason. They are handy when travelling overseas but I just get one of those foreign currency cards from the bank instead. If you want to stop the problem just have a seperate credit card and get rid of the debit card. They can't skim the "old" bank cards that don't have a credit symbol on them. Banks prefer you to have a debit, so that is what they push, but the "normal" cards are still avaliable and will remain so.

My visa card details were hacked about 6 months ago. It has a $500 limit as I use it only for internet purchases. The CBA were excellent & refunded all illegal charges...and on a Sunday.
