    Yesterday I've founded found my bank account...amount 25 times lower than it was 6 hours before that checking.
    In all those 6 hours I've made transactions of only 20$ ...so...I think my credit card was hacked or something.
    I've blocked it right now...but since it's Christmas no one work at bank (only card stop service)....so I don't know what happens...my bank account statement isn't updated yet...
    If it was hacked ...I think two of the following may be the issue:
    -I was using a proxy, from a free proxy list...but when I use it I don't use my credit card...or other passwords...just accessed an web page which no requires cookies or something (simple html page).
    -I've found right now that my brother installed Beareshare ....and I search on google "credit card bearshare"....and I've seen something really scary for me

    Does anyone know if beareshare hack you credit card or something?

    Sorry for posting here...but I think this is the best section where to put this topic....because it's a security topic...
    Thanks!

    Same thing happened to me and it ended up being a screwup by my stupid bank and they credited the missing amount after a few days.

    But meanwhile I was going crazy wondering who the heck could of gained access to my account
