Same. Every single time my bank has killed my card for "suspected fraudulent use", it's been legitimate. The one time I was actually hit by a fraudulent use, they didn't even notice and I had to catch it myself and notify them. Even normal things like buying gas often get my card shut down and I have to call them and go through a long verification process to get access to my money again.
Strange - no one in the game has any interest in you not conducting your business.
Note that in cryptocurrency, there is no bank to call when your crypto "coins" are gone. Then it's gone harder than anything else that ever went, ever:
- you can't explain to your family or friends what happened
- law enforcement will hardly consider it a crime and in any case can't do anything about it
- the community will berate you for not watching out better for yourself and somehow call your loss "a good thing"
- if it's anything like Ethereum's DAO hack the fraud will not even be considered any wrongdoing at all
- everyone in the game has already made their money by pre-mining or getting in early and nobody has your interest in mind
Either way, this confirms my point - Your cryptomoney is GONE and no one would even acknowledge ANY wrongdoing whatsoever. Hilariously you losing money is absolutely part of the pseudo-libertarian crypto worldview and not worrying anybody. But at the same time crypto currencies should replace real money?
"DAO-Hacker just executed code as intended". "Of course you lose your money if a) your PC is hacked (easy) b) the wallet software is in beta (always is) c) your coins are not in a cold wallet (complicated) d) you are using the 3rd party providers/exchanges (which are hyped by the community) e) your password is weak etc. etc."
I'm having a laugh but then again I haven't lost any money in this.
That's no more appropriate for every transaction than TCP is for every packet.
If you want that service, buy it. Transfer your crypto-backed currency with a "trusted" party who will rollback certain transactions. Do this with a well-capitalized service in a country you can sue them in.
But as we've seen with Paypal (and now Upwork), etc, that can be just as disastrous. They're un-sueable because of their size, and have draconian and arbitrary policies. Many people have had money confiscated or indefinitely frozen because of this misplaced trust.
