Cheers Mark, it is pretty much as I thought then although I was obviously being flippant about the negative money since I know that I could go over my overdraft. I don't specifically know my account has been compromised and the bank would have a hard time proving that I did know since it is essentially the word of one cracker saying he has breached security. Until and unless Valve contact me to let me know of the breach then I quite legitimately could choose not to trust someone who claims to have broken into their system.

I probably will cancel my card and request a new one tomorrow anyway just in case.

Plus the average person online wouldn't have a clue about crackers or anything like this. I know my parents wouldn't have the faintest clue until it was on the news on the TV unless I told them.

Both very valid points. Still, having been on the wrong end, it's simply not worth the hassle dealing with fraudulent transactions if they can be avoided. You can always get cash out at a branch should you need to.

Definitely not, I've been on the wrong end too, don't forget

Just saying that I strongly doubt the bank would blame the customer in this case because I would have thought the vast majority of people involved in this would have no clue whatsoever about such a breach, unless valve decide to email all their customers.
