PP a/c "hacked" -- a cautionary tale

Not me, some Reddit user (call her RU)

Basically an old and forgotten PP a/c. Baddies depositing from RU's account-linked card and immediately withdrawing to baddie-controlled account without PP's computer raising an electronic eyebrow.

Read the thread at:-

And follow the good advice given about not using the same passwords on different accounts, or close variants because the bad guys know to try adding 1 or 2 or 3 or...

It looks like between the bank and PP, RU will be no poorer but hopefully still wiser.
