    If you cannot understand then it is probably not worth me trying to explain

    Please can you quote who you are speaking too, or are you just talking to yourself.

    As that post alone makes no sense.

  • just to let you guys know the money has been refunded today even though i never heard back from anyone just been checking my account everyday. 
    i dont think for me personally it works to drill out the numbers and I probably cause more harm than good. Im not too worried about the physical security its rather online. I have since got a anti virus and started using bitwarden and also trusteer rapport (which i already had but now use on other sites also rather than just banking.

    The issue is not what you have on your system. It is how well the retailers protect their systems and how well they vet their staff.
    Bricks & mortar shop has your full (16 digit & exp) card no on their copy of the till receipt. 
    Now think how many retailers will do a full security check on employees who have access to these.
