    Ok here is my story:
    Today i got contacted by some guy trough gmail talk, he ask me if i want to chat, i say ok, whatever...
    She started to chat, she ask me how old i m, and i say, i say soon i have 32, then she ask me when i say in October, then she ask me what day and i was in morning so tired and i say the day, now im afraid that she could hack my MB account and send cash because she knows my date of birth, is this possible?
    Is hacking those SSL sites easy?
    I mean do they have IP blocking, i mean if i log in to my account trough other country i get blocked?

    Please make my day and give me good news.

    Telling that person your DOB? hey that's dangerous!
    If this person can login to your mb then yes he could do the transfer..

    Wouldn't she needs to know you have a Moneybookers account in the first place, that the gmail email address is used for your moneybookers account and your password before gaining access to your account ?

    As long as you have a secure password you're OK. They are going to have some sort of intrusion prevention on moneybookers and any other financial related website. That person would get blocked long before they could break into your account.
