Still can't believe this is happenging to myself, but my cashrewards account has been hacked yesterday.
I first got several emails saying new payment method has been added/removed to my Cashrewards account. I log in and changed my password. But still I received an email saying all money has been transferred to other bank accounts.
I have 2-way authentification, but still the money is gone without sending me SMS code.
Have this happened to anybody else before???
Contact Cashrewards for the answers you seek.
Why are you posting here? Contact them.
probably fake emails, do they take you to a genuine website?
Is there anyway to stop the transfer and save my balance
So instead of immediately contacting Cashrewards for their assistance the first thing you do is sign up to Ozbargain?

Weird thing to do.
Ozb needs some type of time or comment limit before people are allowed to post.
maybe a competitor ????
Weird thing to do
In case of emergency, please contact OzB first.
OP must found this small print somewhere on a random wall.

Why signup to post here? Should've spent your time contacting Cash Rewards.
What other accounts do you want us to follow up on for you?
Track lost super
Welcome to OzB!
Welcome to
OzBCashrewards support!
No I'm the real support
What username and password did you use?
And what bank account number did you have it set up for?
lol
For those who said that I should contact Cashrewards:
Of course I have contacted Cashrewards right after being hacked, but only got a "reply": will get back to you within two business days…
I just wanted to know if this has happened to someone before…
And also want to warn people that this can happen. Obviously Cashwards is not 100% safe.
If you don't need this type of warning, that's fine.
OP, OzB said: we will get back to you within three business days.
Curious how they get your details if you have 2FA turned on. They've got your phone too then?
I am sure that it's turned on. I can see my mobile number there.
My friend just tried to transfer the money with 2FA turned on. Cashrewards did not send any messages!!!
I just checked that it happened to others as well. See https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/325397
And this is exactly why I want to warn everyone. Even with 2-way authentification, it's still not safe.
I highly doubr the Cashrewards platform has been hacked. Probably just your account.
I don't think the entire platform is hacked.
My friend's account is fine.
Maybe I just had bad luck.
Bad luck and (probably) poor password practice.
@John Kimble: My PW is a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters.
I have used the same password for another website. Maybe this is how the password is leaked.
But I really don't know.
@XXaa: Hi again XXaa. I responded to you 90 minutes ago but have not heard back. If you can't message me, please respond to this comment with your Cashrewards ticket number. Thanks.
@tightarse: Really sorry that I missed your reply.
The ticket number is 328029.
Thanks. Really appreciate it.
@John Kimble: Cashrewards team looked into my account and found that someone logged in and tried to transfer my balance to other bank accounts but failed. The money is back now.
They are doing more investigations.
@John Kimble: More details:
The 2FA stopped the transfer.
The transfer was flagged and rejected by the system.
Hi XXaa. Please turn on messaging in your OzB settings and PM me your CR email address. Thanks.
Isn't there a period of time before a new user can private message? Or did I imagine it?
Think I'll change my CR PW, just to be on the safe side….rather not see this show up on HaveIbeenPWNED later on.
I like to lock things down with 20 characters or more, but if you get compromised with a man in the middle it doesn't matter how good your pwd strength is.
They can have my 37 cents for all I care.
What did Cashrewards say when you contacted them?
Also Message tightarse, he can probably help you
