large amount of money was transferred directly out of our bank account
recently. It's not even credit card fraud - it's a direct debit from
our savings account.
It's going to take up to a week to sort it all out and determine if or
when we will get the money back. The whole account is frozen at the
moment and will remain so until it's sorted out.
Meanwhile, it's scary - how was our security breached? When? What
other information do they have?
It's upsetting - it's a lot of money and we're very tight with
finances at the moment. How to cope if we don't get it back or if it
takes ages to get back?
It's also shitting me. What freaking, evil, dipshit loser does things like that?

I am so sorry to hear about this. I've published research notes on this very issue, and it never fails to upset me immensely that people would do this.
I'm pulling for you.
My Best Girl has been hit twice for the same amount even though the bank was told the first time it's a scam.
Good luck to you and a prayer you get it back or it is replaced.
Wow - that's horrible, Jezzy! I had a friend loose $200 due to a similar situation, but yours sounds like quite a bit more. I hope they get it resolved soon and that you are not in any way liable for the loss. It makes me want to pull all my money out each payday and just use cash everywhere. =o(
Oh my goodness - how awful!
I hope it works out for you - I'm horrified...
Oof! That totally sucks. I'm hoping that you can get it all back. I do so much online that I figure it's a matter of time before somebody does something to me somehow. Remember the old days wherein the worst you had to do was make sure that you ripped up the carbons on your credit card slip so that nobody could get your account number? Sigh.
