Mental woman blames reputable online purveyor of nuts and berries for card fraud:
Helpful internet denizen (me) provides useful information about securing your computer (including information about phishing, the dangers of using unsecured public wifi, transmitting personal information via 3G on your mobile phone and the importance of a good antispyware/antivirus regime):
Mental woman claims she 'knows all about security' and continues to make outrageous claims about a website being responsible for fraudulent use of her debit/credit card, despite having been offered a perfectly rational explanation as to what has occurred:

Should have said you are from the Illegal Card Useage Detective Agency and you will help her sort out her issue. Say its free and all you need to get started are the long number, sort code, expiry date and 3 digit security number off her new card to get started

Could it be that she set up a direct debit for graze.com (which doesn't use card details) so regardless of a new card the company would still be able to take the money...

No direct debits at graze.com - it is a card-based payment system.

To be slightly fair to her though - I actually experienced something similar in that when one of my credit cards expired and I got a new one, Equifax still managed to take a monthly subscription fee off my new card which obviously had different expiry date details and neither them nor my card company offered an explanation as to why it could happen.
I know I could have cancelled my Equifax subscription but I thought me having a new credit card and expiry date details would cause this to happen anyway!

About changing the password to anything that contains personal information, or the formation of the password I suggested?
I'm fully aware that it's the length of the password that matters more than mixed characters, but given her general lack of ability to understand basic concepts I thought an 8-character password with upper and lower case characters, numerals and a special character would be better than her existing '12345' or 'password' and easier to explain than why 'D0g................' is more secure than 'UR4CuN7#'

I think it was ian that posted the article a while back regarding passwords. Something to do with using special charecters is a waste of time. Think it said something about using random words instead. 'Analjupiterpandafluff' for example.
Ian will confirm

You're not telling me anything I don't already know - however, you are blessed with intelligence and the ability to understand such a concept.
The fucktard believing that graze.com stole her card information would have a hard time grasping why 'Giganticfloppyhorsecock' is a good password.
It's not a waste of time using special characters, it's just not as important as making a long password.
Each extra character makes a password an order of magnitude harder to crack by brute force, expanding the possible character set is simply an extension of this.

If she visits howsecureismypassword.net she'll be on Facebook tomorrow complaining about how her car stopped working after she visited it.
