How could a gambling site get my card number?

Must have been spycatcher as spybot search & destroy didn't tumble it.

It's honestly highly unlikely that this is part of amazons fault. There is no trojoan or anything wrong with their site icon.

First, I recommend you trace the source of the debit from your account. Even if they had gotten hold of your details, they wouldn't have just debited it, since it's illegal! Once you know who debited it, take a look at what you signed up to with them. Read some Terms and Conditions, and become clear as to:

Who Took the Money
What their T&C's are
How much it was for.

Complain to them and your bank. Request the money back (however big or small!). You have to be sure of your facts when it comes to this sort of thing

Good Luck, post back here!!

Hi,

Could you let us know what site took your money as it will keep the rest of us on our guard. I too play for fun mainly at spin palace flash casino but never for real always just a guest account.

Their favicon does contain embeded spyware.

As I said I found this out over a year ago, thats why I don't use their icon for my favourites.

Leesmithg - Amazon's favicon is a 1.3kb file - how on earth can it contain spyware? I've Googled for any information without any luck. Your spyware detector must have been hyperactive.

Ezula does sound pretty nasty though.
