Yup. They also provide Trusteer's Rapport software free too, although how good it is I can't really say.
The weak link appears to have been Visa themselves.. and Amazon.
My computer hasn't been compromised itself so who knows what happened, although I've never used Amazon
.de just .co.uk I'm positive it occurred from the inside, not hacked from the outside but who knows. All i know was my password was a pretty strong one as they go

just not strong enough!!

I had rapport on my PC and it seemed fine until it started hogging the cpu

De - that's interesting - a friend had his Ebay account hacked/compromised whatever the other day, every time he tried to go there he got what appeared to be german Ebay.

Amazon.com is connected to all the sister sites, amazon.de is the german amazon sister site..
Same happens with ebay
Mine didnt default to german amazon but i think ebay does geographically default.. looks like they were hacked from germany.

He's even less computer literate than me but luckily he had a moan on a forum about problems accessing his Ebay account and we all shouted at him to leave it alone and contact Ebay, apparently it was all sorted fairly quickly.
