Ian's link should be mandatory reading for all children and I'm certainly going to pass it on to my youngsters. But adults are vulnerable too. The danger is a particularly sophisticated form of cyber fraud known as phishing. The attacker attempts to extract the security information that you use to operate your debit and credit cards by impersonating your bank.
My family has been subject to two phishing attacks. One by e-mail (from someone trying to impersonate e-Bay) one by phone from someone trying to impersonate our bank.
All cyber men and women out there, please take care.
