dmetras: Edit: And some of those numbers could have very well been debit card numbers, as well. No recovering lost cash from that.
This is technically untrue in the US. Though there is a time limit on reporting the incident (and it's way too short, imo) you very much can recover your cash. The law may still allow the banks to keep up a certain amount (was 50 USD, but may have been reduced or eliminated recently), but a good bank won't and most will refund 100% of funds while investigating.
Talby: And not a single tear was shed by anyone.
You'd be wrong about that. This is further proof how utterly fucked we are.
