That's a bit naive - there's all kinds of malware out there.


Am I also naive in thinking that the maximum loss I risk from using my
credit card online is £50 (as I have up to date security software albeit
only domestic)? (Consumer Credit Act 1974 IIRC.) That's rather less
than I risk losing to a sadly rather high proportion of Hackney
residents on the rob.


You are naive in thinking that you'll get the money back quickly and
easily, or that there will be no other consequences - for example having
to clean up your credit record if the fraud that's perpetrated via the
malware involves a loan rather than theft.
