Travelex hack

#1 Post by Woody » Wed Jan 08, 2020 4:30 am

Apparently the Travelex website has been hacked and the company is being held to ransom, they also provide services for third parties, Sainsbury’s bank, Virgin Money amongst others, members should be aware of this. I don’t use them, but I’ve changed my passwords on my Fx accounts this morning just in case :-o

When all else fails, read the instructions.

Travelex, Moneygram, and other similar companies in the sector hold travellers to ransom at airports with their rapacious exchange rates.
It was probably a pissed off customer who got €800 for £1000.
