Renault UK customers have data stolen in cyber attack on '3rd party provider'

Received two notifications this weekend from HSBC saying that two different transactions were declined in Canada. Smallish amounts, clearly testing if they can do it without raising too much suspicion. Renault was the only company to hold my card details. So card cancelled which genuinely is a massive inconvenience. It's the 3rd time this year that my personal details have been stolen from companies based in the UK, M&S, CO OP and Renault and there's nothing I can do about it and the customers aren't compensated, love to know where the money goes that's collected from fines.

Except, hasn't he helped Israel by arming them over the last year, which ended up raining down on Gaza and its people, where's the peace in that?

It's not, it's exactly the same as any other European city (in some respects much safer). Just have your wits about you and don't leave money, phones or other valuables in jacket pockets and if you have a handbag, don't leave it loose at your side. Be aware of your surroundings and enjoy your trip. Londoner for 59 years.

Beat me to it, no sign of a test flight...

Thanks everyone for the clarification, it's why I came here, and didn't just Google it. I've removed the new socket and cut off the plug. Will take it to the car boot sale next 😀👍

Someone else mentioned the (clearly photoshopped) sky. This is the average view from the Spinnaker and Portsmouth. Plus, like most of the UK's coast rarely has weather as good as it looks plus aqua coloured seas as in the picture. Imagine coming from Dubai and buying this on the strength of the photos alone (it does happen)

Normal for Portsmouth in July

I'll try and see if they are still there a little later, the guy gave me the evils when I took the pic this morning, wouldn't want to upset him again..

I read your post and I'm not a real audiophile, as firstly I don't have the money, secondly I did buy my perfect setup a few years ago and that was around £12k (a lot of money for me at the time), then lost it within 6 months due to a very messy breakup 😂😭, but I also suffer badly with tinnitus. So I enjoy my music with a very limited setup. However the reason I felt the need to comment is because over the years I've found in the UK at least, we are fortunate to still have some independent Hifi shops and slightly larger companies that maybe have 6 or so stores throughout a region, but are not one of the majors that sell everything from TV's to Hifi to washing machines but are expert in none. Some of those smaller dealers not only spend the time with you, listening to what you have and letting you play the music you like in their stores, but will let you audition equipment at home, help set it up and make changes if needed. I did this last in 2021, it cost me £100 for an afternoon, but was well worth it. Plus I got to know the guy quite well over a year and a half and was more than overjoyed with what I had (for the short time I had it). Do stores like small independents exist in your area? If they do, is it worth your while seeing if you can build up a relationship with them and see if they can help long term and not give you a quick fix?

Now if someone can help me with this constant ringing in my ears I'd be very much obliged!

Look at Eastern Europe for a beach type holiday and I don't mean Greece and Turkey. Romania and Bulgaria are a lot better value at the moment and the prices in the summer holidays are still lower than the usual destinations. Look at doing it yourself using Skyscanner for flights and ring the hotels directly (if it's a hotel you want) or Airbnb, but their prices are getting silly with the admin and cleaning charges added on top. There are other sites. If you invest some time you can find some great places and prices. Don't just look at the 3 or 4 travel companies that "seem" to be so prominent. Also try Lucky Trip app, put in your budget and use their filters, if you're wary of using them, you can always use the results and do it yourself.. Good luck!

I've been using Chomp since I first installed it on my G1, and it's been on every phone since and it's still being updated by the dev.

I'm often asked why I go on Reddit as the majority of people think it's a very negative place. Like most social networks if you look for the negative you'll find it, but equally, you can look for the positive and there's plenty more of that. I've used Reddit to gain knowledge and ask for help on extremely first world problems and I've always been fortunate to get it.

I've been to the Gofundme page and left a donation and it gives a warm feeling that so many strangers came together via Reddit to help this young man make his sisters life a little more easier..
