Oh C'mon man after several months he couldn't see that more than 100 000USD was stolen from his account ???

AArrgg I get really pissed how simple and unresponsible some people are!!! He should go back to his mum's and learn to check his account reguraly!

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!!!!

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!

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.

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
