Within a week I had the cash back in my account. All I had to do was sign a piece paper from the bank stating I didn't make the withdrawals and that they could investigate.
The only PITA thing was I had to transfer money out of my savings account to cover upcoming debits...
I agree though, never use a debit card online...
Credit card numbers are fair game the moment someone has access to them and that's not limited to just purchasing online. I'm always checking my account to make sure that the charges there are accurate.
