Guest Ph0en1x Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Its about time banks here got a grip. Really are third world at times http://www.smh.com.au/business/major-banks-cancel-credit-cards-after-breach-20110527-1f72w.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SDJ&A Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 It happens all the time not only to Australian banks. Sony did it recently, was it Vodaphone a while back as well? Not unique to just Australia. Government depts, councils etc (inc. the ones in the UK as I recall) seem to make a habit of often dumping forms with personal info on them no matter where in the world they are. At least they are doing something about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petals Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 It was in a business not an ATM this is going to happen from time to time wherever you live. Hence the different Bank's cards which are affected. I am pleased to know our Bank's are on the ball and picked it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parley Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Yes this was a fraud by a merchant or at an individual merchant. The banks have acted quickly to stop any cards that were compromised by the merchant. They have done the right thing, but there will be some inconvenience to impacted cardholders.

Guest guest36187 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I'd much rather some inconvenience than someone stealing money from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
