  7. Could TSB be being hacked

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    The cases where fraudsters pretend to by you bank via the phone are normally where they have rung you and then left the line open so when you ring the bank back you aren't. So as suggested ring from a line that you know is clear (by ringing a mate first) or from a mobile. To be fair to any bank they need to be able to verify who you are on the end of the phone and in order they do that by asking for enough information without compromising security. Just expecting them to deal with your problem without being able to verify who you isn't going to happen.

     

    And I have spoken to my cyber security team at work who have said that there are no known large scale hacking attempts underway at TSB at the moment that have compromised them. They would know that through their threat intelligence.

     

    Hope this helps.

    information was given in form of question to them about last transaction , they could not answer although they had my card number and name ,trust and security is not a one sided rule ?

    My dear chap, I doubt very much that TSB has been hacked. Certainly I have had or heard no information from them to this effect.

     

    If you can't be bothered to drive the 45 miles to speak to them in person, do what I do and phone them up. None of the information they will ask you to give over the telephone will compromise your account. Giving your account number, name, address or other basic information over the phone to identify yourself will compromise your security. It is nothing that anyone can't see for themselves when you write them a cheque and provide your identity.

     

    You really need to get a grip of your paranoia and phone the only ones who can help...................your bank.

    Wrong ,you have to give card number,name ,address, everything but your security code , so lets have your details and see how long it takes to 'find'the security code , if there is no threat why are they blocking,if it is them , you dont know my facts so please constructive info on hacking and tell the 1000s who have been hacked lately they are only paranoid,or have you been kept in a drawer for the past couple years

    Someone tried to buy something with my card number in the USA, but rather than contacting Pigeon Watch I contacted my bank.

    No one on PW can help you. Whether it's a 45 mile round trip or a 145 mile round trip; you need to talk face to face with someone from your bank, not PW.

    You keep saying all you're asking is 'is anyone else having problems', but that isn't what you asked; you asked 'could TSB be being hacked?' No one on PW knows; go to your bank.

    you are very trusting ,did you contact them by phone , if so you are just the ripe ones hackers are looking for. another one full of do this do that ,if it dont affect you leave it alone. If there is a problem better every one forewarned than have details stolen

    They could hack your phone , but try phoning a mate first then the bank . I'm not sure they reroute just the banks number.

    Or use a mobile.

    The bank have blocked your card ,you need to speak to them to unblock you can't do this unless you speak.

    This won't be the first or last time things like this will happen but you need to sort it.

    No I haven't had the same problem.

    John.

    so if phone hacked card could show as blocked by hackers ,bank 45mile round trip ,dont realy need your 'help' just asking others with tsb cards if they are having problems

    Just phone them up.

    Your complaining to the wrong people!

    Would you be the happy if you lost money sounds like they've had a query against the safety of your card.

    If you phone the number it can't be that problematic to tell them details, different if they phone you.

    John.

    so a hacker cant setup a phone hack ?. all I was asking 'is anyone having same problems, the just phone up and give details about account yes,transactions etc, not personal info

    Which isn't unusual. Just give them a call on 0345 975 8758. They will ask you some basic information to verify your identity, which is absolutely normal and then you can speak to somebody. All banks take complaints very seriously nowadays. Just be clear on what you complaint is "on dd/mm/yy my card has been declined and nobody can explain why " for example. From your post it isn't clear to me what your problem is so you might have to try explaining it better.

    they have blocked my card because they sent a 'letter to me' which may or may not have been return to sender ,which was of unknown trivial content. Basic info is card No ,full name , address , Everything that is needed to hijack card , they could miss out one of these and ask last transaction .is that clear enough ! They still take the 'we are untouchable' attitude and do NOT take customer complaints seriously unless you take them to financal omb ,been there ,caught them out lying to both me and omb and were issued with fine and comp,back there again ,and I have no card for everyday use, do you give your BASIC info to everyone who asks ? if so print your info to us all

    Blocked card because they 'sent a letter they dont know what about 'because letter was missing or returned' .Now how can something be missing if returned or returned if missing . They ask me all my details but wont prove their I.D to me . No card ,standing order and insurance for van due . This Every November problems with card services , last year cost them a few quid ,is this just vindictive or are they being hacked?

  20. RSPB reserve manager names badgers

    in Off Topic

    Quote from our local rag Dumfries &Galloway Standard, Mersehead manager on Probus club talk by Colin Bartholomew QUOTE '' Lapwing numbers have declined seriously over the years,due to egg predation.A fence has been built to stop badgers getting in.They were the main culprit'' So come on RSPB are the huge badger numbers the cause of the decline of the lapwing nation wide ? if so what are the RSPB's answers ,or back a cull, build a fence round every moorland and wader nest or only on the showcase reserves and never mind national problem ? I would also like to know how Colin has the insight to know badgers target lapwings more than other nests ?.Looks like a serious case of public showcase first and nothing to do with the care of birds nationwide or just a new manager who has not got the balls to admit predation control is needed to help the decline of all wild birds.
