Yeah I have used shopto this year.

Done a bit of searching around the internet this week and it quickly becomes apparent that a lot of those fraudulent transactions happen to people who have used shopto.

From what I understand it seems the bad guys try a phone top up as you don?t have to speak to an actually human over the phone, this is to test the card should the purchase go through then they would move on to buying more extravagant purchases.

Lucky for me the bank has stopped the purchase and cancelled my card immediately, just waiting for a replacement.

Damn really?

I got phoned a few weeks back by Halifax fraud saying a ?25 or ?30 (cant remember which) phone top up was attempted, and a ?1.79 "tester charge". They asked me to confirm if it was me, I said noooo, payments blocked, no card issued. I thought to myself how the ****? As the bank account it's tied to hasn't been used by me since March this year (old student account).

Now it clicks, that account used to be used for my ShopTo account. I thought that was suppose to just be a "scare", Shop:no:no:

Play the soccer game. Its easy to get it there. Same with Heal, Curse, Burn and Freeze 6+ enemies.

Have not played soccer game yet, I am sure I will.

In Single Player, I have noticed the bots get stuck, I had a couple of bots on my team, stuck in 1 position for the entire game, luckily we still won, but they need to fix the pathing issues. I would see lots of bots stand still, or get stuck around the map.

Man, i'm pretty worried now. I used my debt card with them so i don't know if i'll get any calls from my bank. Going to have to check any charges to my account.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
