Ok, some wise arse is going to say that their DNA is not possible within the internet. These people use whatever means they can to rob you of your money. Forensic Fraud comes from your mobile phone or computer, meaning that they can find out with forensic software just how much money they can steal from you! Your post code is enough, and this code is so bloody easy to find. Just be aware of this please. Baz Sorry, I should have said Foresic Internet Fraud. Baz I suggest you stop reading scare stories in the Daily Mail or Express or which ever paranoid right wing tabloid rag is feeding your delusions. Get a grip. There are risks to being on the internet, but they can be managed with a decent firewall and suitable anti virus and malware tools will go a long way towards protecting you. Trouble is people click on links and allow unknown code to run. Today even major players distribute unsigned driver code online which is a total disgrace. BTW: Knowing a postcode gives you next to nothing in a city. You should probably be a lot more scared of 118 people searchhttp://www.118.com/people-search.mvc Or the fully searchable copy of the (edited) electoral roll for England given away with a computer magazine a few years back. If you are really worried about online banking security you can run something like Trusteer Rapport as recommended by some banks. http://www.trusteer.com/product/trusteer-rapport This blocks a most of the potential weak points in common browsers and adds another layer of protection to secure online transactions.
