Chip and Pinch
http://www.leedstoday.net/ViewArticl...ticleID=992656
My parent's local Co-op. My mum lost about £13 but it was recredited. Her neighbour is £500 overdrawn and facing massive bank charges. One woman has lost over £2000 
The mother of all banking cock-ups, surely. How the hell it could have happened I don't know. I would have thought all the banks' counter-fraud mechanisms would have flagged it up

Re: Chip and Pinch
doesnt look like it had anything to do with chip & pin though, just someone messed with a computer and got it wrong...

Re: Chip and Pinch
They were upgrading the cash systems to take chip and pin and they basically re-submitted a load of old debit card transactions. A live system - you just don't do things like that. Change control! I'm aghast

hehe yeah lol... just it's [IMO] relevant enough to not warrant a separate thread.
The banking dudes think that chip and pin is totally safe, and really, it's anything but. As I said in the other thread, this bint on Tonight was so unbelievably naive about it, it's almost like she'd not lived and it was so worrying.
