Just ran that Norton scan, says high risk but can be fixed by paying for one of their products... AVG says I'm fine..

yeah ignore the risk thing.

basically it does not accept competitor AV and tries to sell you ours.

(hey we gotta get paid somehow)

but the scan works well as a secondary check if your not sure.

nah they are criminals with class.

Carders are the lowest of low as no skill, buy some credit card numbers online, code onto a blank card buy shit. any idiot can do it.

phishers for bank details next lowest as it it take is some-one to click a dodgy link in an email.

there is a definite rank of computer criminals.

well these guys knew what they were doing. Opening two new bank accounts, hiding them within options & transferring money from my accounts into them.

They moved three transactions on the 27th, 29th & 4th. So there would have been multiple logins before I logged in to see the mess.

Didnt help that I was in the middle of refinancing & loan applications which had money moving & new accounts popping up (offset accounts, loan accounts etc)

I used to have the full Norton/symantec protection, but just running the free AVG stuff at the moment...

Maybe I should get a subscription to Norton, or at least the full AVG..

[emts]

till work gave me a free subscription for home usage I used the free ones as well.

nothing wrong with them that's for sure.

but like all AV the important thing is how often you update them.

I had mine set to check updates every 6 hours.

default was every day at 2 am and my PC was usually off then so I could fall behind.

[dezz]

Ah k so the AVG free stuff is fine?

I've never really had an issue, only time I ever had a virus was years and years ago back in the counter strike/clan days... a mate I used to play CS with who was also a program developer or some shit, sent me a program he'd made to sus out over MSN... exe file... Thought nothing of it coming from him obviously, but turns out he'd been hacked or something and it wasn't him sending it... Lost pretty much everything as soon as I opened the file...

Since then never had an issue, and I buy shit online flat out..

so this is dependent on how they got access to your account.

eg making it simple if you gave a friend the login as you weree away from a computer and they did the dodgy, that's not the banks fault is it.

they will do an investigatoiona nd work this out, don;t expect the cash back in a day or 2 it usually takes a couple weeks.

re "hacking" a bank it does not happen.

what happens is that they get access to your account usually by you logging into the bank from an un secured computer eg a communal pc at a internet cafe/work site that some-onme has put a trojan on.

or more commonly your PC has been compromised (first thing is to run a good scan on that)

this is why banks are moving to things like One Time Passowrds for banking log in:

eg

https://vip.symantec.com/

SO it's something you know, eg your password plus something you have (a phone with an app on it) thus 2 factor authentication rather than a simple password

or more more important accounts (or dealing with governments) something like PKI using Hardware tokens:

http://www.symantec.com/managed-pki-service/

https://www.verisign.com.au/gatekeeper/overview/

So the more of this that happens..the more work I get.

And welcome to what I do for a living.

Securing this sort of thing so it does not happen.

Sooo you gon pay back pat orrrr?

[emts]

actually a number of our products have insurance on them.

but still curious as to how they got his details.

[Rekin]

so for some reason I cannot open page 4055

only this one...

Should update your anti-virus software

[emts]

was probally blocked due to it being worried about all your vulnerable systems.

[HEKT1K]

Shout out to the person in my building who just bought a (loud) WRX

Thanks for subjecting me to your horrible "misfiring RB" exhaust note at all times of the day and night

[alr33x]

Sounds like your getting old brah

[HEKT1K]

Haha nah not yet.. I just don't like the WRX noise

[alr33x]

haha eh I freakin hate those loud harleys and that soo anti social

Yeh I'm old.

[Leroy Peterson]

i hate the sound of hogs. its like they dont rev or have a power band. off or on. idle or loud.

Winterfest was alright. extremely poorly organised though. even the people doing the BBQ had no idea what they were doing, and they werent volunteers! (food was good, just the ladies running the show)

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

I actually like the sound of WRX's

[alr33x]

I don't mind rexy noise sometimes not sure id want one living next door.

Tax time soon. yay!

[Birds]

The sound is better when driving it and knowing that it's running smooth and that it's not just the sound of a shifty engine, except that the EJ20 is a shitty engine

As for Harley's, that's all about attention

[colourclassic]

Anyone good with basic legal advice, mainly concerning defamation?

I took my car to a local tyre place to have my guards rolled, and it was subsequently damaged after they used a trolley jack to lift it without any sort of adapter or rubber pad.

Now I don't want to put them out of business or slander them, but I do feel its necessary for others to know what happened, especially after I they refused fixing it, or any sort of reimbursement.

Can/should you name businesses online and post what happened, or can it land you in trouble?
