I thought I'd update Linkers as to how I've addressed my internet banking issue.
1. ANZ quickly reversed all suspicious transactions and have credited my accounts with the amounts taken and made up for any charges, such as cash advance against my credit card, suffered as a result. Great to receive such a quick resolution and a credit to the bank. 2. I have installed Hide My Ass VPN, following a suggestions from a Linker. This has, so far, not allowed a follow on attack. This has also, as a side benefit, allowed me to circumvent geolocking on media content so now I am a happy bunny indeed watching BBC and ABC content. Setting it up was a breeze but I suspect this is because of the effort HMA has gone in to to develop a simple environment. Others that I investigated seemed far too complicated to establish. I know there are free VPN's out there but I took to decision that you get what you pay for and HMA came recommended and security costs, even if it is only $4 per month (Xmas special!). So, a good outcome for me. Thanks to all Linkers who participated in the conversation. I have found it very interesting and enlightening to read the discussion about fobs, vpn, etc. One has a theoretical knowledge about a lot of things but accurate good practical advice is rare indeed. Merry Xmas and happy New Year to one and all and I look forward to an enlightening Link list in 2014. bobj -- -------------------------------- Dr Bob Jansen Turtle Lane Studios Pty Ltd PO Box 26, Erskineville NSW 2043, Australia Ph: +61-414 297 448 Resume: http://au.linkedin.com/in/bobjan Skype: bobjtls http://www.turtlelane.com.au In line with the Australian anti-spam legislation, if you wish to receive no further email from me, please send me an email with the subject "No Spam" _______________________________________________ Link mailing list Link@mailman.anu.edu.au http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
