Sorry that happened to you Dallas.
You really need to use a non-compromised computer to change ALL of your log in user names and passwords.
if you have any tech savvy TRUSTED friends, get a LINUX BOOT USB drive and use it to change all of your account information. This will ensure that no monitoring is happening.
Then get your friend to scrub your current computer/iPad/smart phone.
someone got to your shit through an app or computer vulnerability.
Good luck,
Dogg
So sorry love.Quote:

The use of Big Banks and banking apps by hobbyist may expose vulnerabilities that constitute viable financial threats as well as unnecessary civil and criminal liabilities.Quote:

This is why I advocate a comprehensive social media plan inclusive of your digital eco-system of online applications so hobbyists can assess the risks and opportunities in a deliberate manner rather than an emotional crisis situation.
When bad things like this happen to good people, thoughts and prayers may sooth the soul but are not very effective in repatriating your hard earned money. On the other hand, an adaquate liquid cash reserve and contingency plan to report and clawback your financial losses will almost always be more efficient than thoughts, hugs, prayers and kisses in getting your pinched funds back.Thank goodness it was thieves of the regular variety because if the thieves were cops converted into robbers leverging asset forfieture laws you could kiss that hard earned money good bye.
Make your digital footprint as small and secure as possible.
Was it Amex savings ? Don’t they have to link account to withdraw or transfer? Now if it is, this peak my interest.Quote:

It was amex. It was nothing to do with MY computer...it was my hubbys laptop and his amex account......it is kept seperate from my business stuff,thank god.
They are investigating.
My yoke is jolted. Changing. Securing.
So sorry to hear that. It happens so often now... AMEX is great in resolution of problems. I love that bank. Good luck to you.
I hope everyone who reads it, will take it seriously and modify their behavior online.
Be good. Play safe.
