I found an alien item on my statement 2 days ago (a small donation to a charity, not made by me).
My bank was not a great deal of help, tbh; basically they gave me a number for the charity & told me to ring them direct for a refund. They made little attempt to work out how someone had got my card details, didn't suggest I cancel the card even (which I subsequently did) and didn't offer any advice. Pretty poor.
The thing is, it's a debit card I don't use a lot, there are a bare handful of recent transactions that could be suspect. The last transaction I made online using those card details (to a trustworthy mail order site) cleared the day before the dodgy amount. That's obviously setting off alarm bells that it could be related; a keylogger or what-have-you...
Previously I used the card twice, at 2 different ATMs, in the past 3 months - and made one online payment in May. That's all. Other than that it gets used only for Paypal & similar.
What should I do first to try & get to the bottom of it?![]()

malwarebytes has come up a lot, and around these forums, so I will go with it. If it finds nothing, then that's a definite 100% that things are clear, is it..? (Yes, it's this pc only).
