Amazon account hacked

Did you lose any money?

Fortunately no, the bank refunded my account the next day.

I use online banking, and have done for the last 20 years (well, back then it was just leased line and direct connection), but I never use public WiFi - flowrider99, that's the most likely way they got in: plenty of script kiddies using ready-made packages in Starbucks and suchlike (unless it was an inside job). My own network is reasonably secure, and I do not use an operating system that requires an anti-virus software ...

I'm paranoid enough not to use online banking at all.

I'm with you there Bill. I'm also extremely careful about what I do with my credit card, although some scumbag still managed to charge a £750 Microsoft Surface to it some months back. Fortunately the bank repaid it without question, done and dusted in a few days. Pain in the bum though.

Cheers,
