If you guys have online banking, check it and look for transactions for one PENNY.
I've had two of these in two days, and am not the only webmaster to have 'em.
It *could* have something to do with the hack, or it could just be an idiot merchant who doesn't know how to enter transactions properly.

Either way, check your account and watch for it.

Think about it - 8 million CC #s stolen... hit 'em all up for one single penny two times and you've made yourself a nice $160k. Most people won't notice it and won't complain... so you do it again in a few months and sit back nice and pretty with $300k a year for letting your computer run the card numbers through for a few hours..
fucking brilliant.
