Credit Card Alert!
 

Just a heads up -

Someone got a hold of my credit card info that I do business with, & has tried running up some big charges on it.

I am by no means pointing fingers, but I did do a very unsecure cc transaction last week over the phone (while many others did it via fax, phone, or online). It would be worth your while to see if there are any funny charges on your cards.

This may be a completely random event, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to check your own accounts, especially since this is a holiday weekend.

40 M cc's worldwide were hacked 10 days ago, maybe that explains it

That could very well be too.
Still worth checking your accounts.

foreign charges or domestic?

well in my case the cc was hacked and i got a replacement card today. :winkwink:

this reminded me i have to update it in places where i have auto payments going on, like hosting

The big ones were to a us phone company, the card security people can't investigate it until Tuesday. But I had my card cancelled in the meantime.

probably a russian teenager calling his cyber girlfriend in australia

They were for about $500 a pop.

It looks like they made a couple of small test transactions, then went for the big ones.

The CCs that were hacked were Master card.I dont think they were visa. So......

I had heard that some Visa cards were also hacked, but I think all those cardholders were already notified & have new cards.

Good to see that no one else is having any trouble though, it would really suck if somebody was targeting adult webmasters somehow.

I got a letter from MasterCard a few days ago saying that my card has been compromised and, although they haven't noticed any fraudulent transactions, they're sending out a new card with a new number just to be safe.

Yep. Fuckers got my gf's card and charged a bunch of clothes and stuff online. 6 CB's and a new card later... all is well.

Interesting gonna watch this thread ........

FSC? :Oh crap

If it was mastercard you may explain why visa is replacing 16000 visa belgium cards what i read on the television

SO IT WAS VISA TOO.

Didt read much about it, Did post a thread here when i did read it on teletext here on television.
