An attempt was made, using my card details (including security code) to withdraw £99.98 from my account. The Lloyds TSB automated fraud detection declined the transaction and I was subsequently informed. That card has been blocked and a new one is being issued to me. I was at a loss as to how they got my details, until Super Anti Spyware found 3 Adware Tracking cookies on my system, one is called doubleclick and contains a data miner. Google Chrome seems to think this cookie is safe and it automatically drops onto your system. It works only when you are online watching for entries into payment pages. I was lucky, others have not been so. Be vigilante.
