Chain reaction has been in the media recently, regarding fraudulant bank transactions.
Today, I got a call from Natwest saying that suspiciouse activity occured in my account (one day after using WIGGLE).
a 15 02 top up voucher was charged to my bank. Fortunatly the card was cancelled immediatly by my bank.
Thought I should let you all know (WIGGLE today and Chain reaction the other week)

heh, And I thought you wouldnt post it up so soon. two threads from the Janes brothers... Worlds going to end.
As I said in the other thread, any evidence it's linked to wiggle?
There was a previous issue with wiggle a few years ago. Couple of fraudulent activities on my account and got accused of starting a witch hunt when i was a frequent poster on BikeMagic.
It soon became more obvious when a lot of other had similar activity on their account both on Bikemagic and users from here.
My suspicions were correct when I later used a brand new credit card, only used it on Wiggle, from my works internet (Very Very Secured) and I had fraudulent entries passed on that card too.
Used wiggle recently nothing's gone wrong.

You've been defrauded by your IT dept. HTH.
Less tongue-in-cheek,
Unless you work for the MoD, there are many attack vectors in a corporate Internet connection.
Wireless network? Trivial to sniff by someone else on the same WLAN. Less easy but possible to sniff from outside the building with sufficient time and the right tech. Wired LAN? Port mirroring.
Secure corporate network? You'll be going through a proxy server which logs connections, which can be reviewed by IT or anyone who's wangled access to the proxy logs either logically or physically. That's all before you've reached the Internet and assuming your PC isn't infected with keylogger malware.
Not saying that any of this happened and I've no idea how "very" secure your workplace is. Just making the point that there's a lot of variables to that assumption.
Well, bearing in mind I used the same payment system to pay wiggle using my own corporate credit card, is the same system I have used daily over the last five years to transfer international monies (Largest amount being £440,000,000) and having never had a previous instance of fraudulent activity I would have to say the system is secure.
This was a few years ago, and is not related to the current claim made by the OP

To a certain Hunting and Agricultural commission within the EU.
I'm surprised that they allow the same systems that move around half a billion quid at a time to also connect to bicycle shops in Portsmouth to stock up on brake pads.
Used wiggle recently nothing's gone wrong.
i bought some stuff last week and no issues. i did however recieve an email to my account asking for me to reset my natwest password which i thought a bit wierd 'specially considering i don't have a natwest account!
