Comment Good for banks with a conscience (Score 1) 218

I'm guessing that few of you have had money stolen from accounts before. It is a huge pain, involves lots of paperwork, and is generally not a pleasant experience. I had a good deal of money(for me at the time) transferred out of my account in the United States and sent to Turkey. Nothing stolen online, we figure it was a dumpster diver. Money is still gone, and it still took weeks to clear. I, for one, am happy that the bank re-reimbursed the account holders for their losses. For everyone here that says "learn security!!!!", what if it wasn't the account holder who placed the trojan there? Would you then blame the person for having "stupid" people using their computer, i.e. significant others, who bank at the same place? You can't educate everyone.
