Well my dad is going to have a fun day tomorrow.
Someone changed his bank account address and order new cheques to this new address. Basically suspicious stuff so the bank froze his account. He called them and now they are saying he is going to have to change all his debit and credit cards (and likely the pin that goes with them) along with his bank account number and line of credit number meaning he will also need to change his direct deposits and automatic withdrawals and basically everything to do with money. He has to go into a bank branch tomorrow morning.
The person on the phone said that it's possible the computer has I forget what it's called but it's a virus that remembers your keystrokes and that may be how they got the account information in the first place and they recommended getting the computer scanned so he is going to have to do that as well. No money stolen from him at least. Only cost appears to be the computer scanning cost.
It's called a key logger. Do you have wireless internet at your house?
