I think there is an epidemic of that going around. We had two credit cards compromised in the last two months. The first one, the CC company called us on a Sunday morning and said they suspected fraudulent activity on our card. Asked us about certain purchases that were made like two or three in the morning. We didn't make them. The CC company cancelled the card and sent us a new one. I check on line to see our activity almost every day to keep up with it. About five weeks after the first incident, there was a charge for $320 that we didn't make. I called the CC company and again, they cancelled the card and just yesterday, we received our new card. I hope this is the last one that we have to get.
Those people that hack into things obviously are very smart. If they would just use their intelligence to do something worthwhile we would all be better off.

what about stores and companies asking for your S S number these days? I got upset at K ohl's and even sent the President an email on this. it's happening a lot and crooks are stealing identies left and right.

Oh and they caught the guy. He'd done this to lots of people that day!

The transactions were supposedly for airfares and accommodation. I hope I had a good holiday :!:
