    Well done for making the public aware.

    The same thing happened to my friend. Some hacker slowly depleted his bank account over a one month period. By the time he realised what had happened it was too late. The commonwealth bank refused to pay back the full amount stolen from his account claiming that it was his fault for not notifying the bank sooner.

    The commonwealth bank has the worst internet security. HSBC is probably the most secure bank.

    Dam commonwealth bank!

    I think what happened to you is intolerable!! I’m never going to use online banking with my bank. Every time I go there to pay for my rent, they ask me why I don’t do online banking coz it makes life easier, it is simple blablabla….

    I just don’t agree with this acceleration of technology, that prompts us to use machines more and more. I hope this video will make people aware of that ! Good luck for everything my friend !! Love, Yamina

    I’m really sorry you had to go through this..
    this is so unfair and I pray that you are blessed by God and that he repays you double of what you lost..
    and as for this hacker, he will get his turn..
    just remember ‘you reap what you sow”

    God bless you Mick :-)

    Online banking is only as secure as computer you’re accessing your on-line account with. Looking at friends and colleagues computers and their general computer behaviour, I can see why this is such an issue. The bank really needs to provide you with a computer that does nothing else by on-line banking, that way it won’t get lots of nasty crap loaded onto it.

    My account was hacked into.. I lost a bit of money. Right now, an investigation is carried out. The Police reckon someone local in my area is responsible.

    PINsentry is the answer, where you have your own gadget when you want to bank online you have to put your card into type in your pin and it gives you a six figure pin to use just the once, you have to get a new number everytime. I try not to online bank unless I have to and I check my account at least twice a month, and I leave no more that $1,000 in it, anymore than that is put into saving certificates. There are ways of combatting this, don’t leave too much in the acocunt, check it regularly!

    Just one other thing, surely the bank knows the acounts the money was transferred to…. so they can chase it up and identify the culprits, something not right there, you don’t get cash out of your account online, so where has it gone - they know where it went… sound dodgey - could be the staff… and then blaming Internet fraud!!!!
