Given all the hype about it up to yesterday, everyone seems to have gone strangely quiet! Did it actually do anything?

    There was a program on Sunday on TV here about it is emptying bank accounts from online banking clients.

    Discovered by a guy who was online at the time paying his bills and noticed this big transfer out -

    The thing is everytime they figure it out and block it - it morphs - but it does appear from what I read that the security folks are temporarily having the upper-hand -

    No news is not always good news because you don't know what is going on in the minds of these ***@%#$##@ creeps and/or what they will hit us with or WHERE next.

    "Beware of foolish over-confidence' and keep your security up to the minute - it may or may not help... I would rather gamble with a full deck.

      Tried that with mine, but it felt sorry for me and put money in
