All very good advice. This just happened to me. One of my bank accounts was hacked (I believe by the Trojan Horse gimmick, previously mentioned). Luckily, i was in the process of closing the account so there wasn't much money in it.

The hacker purchased a gun and also paid a california company for location info. on an individual in connecticut. Besides the fact that it took me a month to straighten out this mess, it also took a lot of time and phone calls from me to attempt to circumvent another possible crime from taking place.

The account is now closed and all monies were recovered and nothing else came of it, but it sure made me reconsider all of this internet stuff. Wow!
