Did you login at places like Internet Cafes or like those $ per hour rental PCs?

ANZ doesn't ask for extra code for transferring to external accounts as well. But I only login from my office which has huge firewall and latest anti-viruse/spywares - have to be coz we're govt. agency.

Spyware and malware are a big problem. Not saying it was your problem in this particular case. Most major antivirus programs such as Trend, Norton’s, Avg etc to name a few don’t tend to pick up many of the spyware /malware that can be silently running on your pc. For example you could have a spyware keyloger recording every keystroke you make. To make things worse people are hanging on to xp for dear life because they hate Vista. Xp has that many vulnerabilities in it that the hackers etc are having a field day with it.

Xp has been around since 2001 and most people still have it as a main operating system. I understand service pack 3 is the last service pack that Microsoft will roll out for xp. Malwarebytes is a great free program that can be downloaded for free off the net. Great for detecting and removing spyware and malware. Always back up important data first. No antivirus program is bullet proof and that is becoming more and more evident as time goes on. Any peer to peer programs like lime wire bit torrent etc are one of the main ways of getting these nasty’s in the first place. My 2c

Do you think this affects mac users?

Do you think this affects mac users?

Mac only has about 10 to 20% of the market so for that reason most spyware malware and Virus code is written for the other 80% of the market and they are mostly windows based pc's. Because of the ill fated roll out of Vista a lot of people went over to Mac. So the more popular Mac becomes the more likely malicious code will be written for it.

Well the bank finally realised I'm getting shafted when I rang them and told them another $800 went missing from my account in one transaction, instead of a dispute form they finally realised my card needed cancelling and sent all the information through to the fraud squad HOORAY! I've never had a problem until I bought my wife some flowers giving my credit card details over the phone to pay for them, the same day the missing money started happening, this goes to show never buy your other half any flowers guys it always ends in trouble

Sure sure...

Glad your bank's fraud squad is onto it now.

[1orion2many]

Yeah they were Ultra quick it only took about $1000 before they acted

I thought they have "the Falcon"...?

They do, but it only works when you do your own transactions. i put an order through to e-hobby about a year or so ago and no joking, about 2 min after I had pressed the confirm button they rang me to query the transaction coz it was in Japan....

thanks for the headsup, i remember doing a transaction for 5k and i got an immediate phone call from st.george. They also keep an eye on ip's as that transaction was done from my work computer as opposed to at home. But at the end of the day like mentioned earlier all it takes is some spyware with a keylogger i try to becareful but sometimes have no choice as 99% of the banking for 3 entities is done from my home computer.
