Are you sure that you use your card only on ubuntu 9.04 with guardog
firewall set to default settings ? Are you confident that you have
never used your card on an Cash Machine / Machine at a shop etc .
I have a habit of getting the cash from the cash back over the
supermarket checkout.
One more thing where did you do your online shopping ? That site
could have been a already compromised or phised site . Are you sure
that the online shopping site is reliable ( I would trust amazon
,ebay but still use mostly paypal ) .
Are you sure that your data went on an encrypted channel I mean when
you were doing your online shopping , did you see a small lock sign
on
the right hand bottom of your browser ?
I use the WOT settings and only click the one in green. I always
notice a small lock sign on the right hand bottom of my browser when
I enter my bank details.
I have a word document file to remind myself of my bank details and
various passwords. Do you think they could have hacked into it ? If
they did, how do I stop them doing that?
