Damn! I >so< never look down this far on the page, I did not know there was an explanation...and a hack!
Jezz John, that is some scary stuff. Have you implemented anything new into your personal system to help combat this type of thing? Further, was it a hack from the Internet or within your Intranet?

according to the email the hacker sent me - 1 of 4, he used code, not a virus. He told me to flush my DNS Cache as that's where he was hiding.
He hacked Paypal and got all my email and bank account numbers - he then transfered from one bank account to another then withdrew from the second account.
Scarey stuff- the bank people reckoned he was working at a level they'd never experienced before.
The bank has replaced the funds.
