My credit card was one of the 40 million hacked..

[Beachie]

My VISA card was one of the ones involved in the hacker attack.. My bank phoned to say they'd cancelled my card and will be reissuing it. Annoying, because I need to pay for some domains!

Aww that really sucks, did you get charged a lot though?

 

[Beachie]

Apparently the credit card companies are covering any money fraudulently obtained, although I expect they're cancelling a lot of cards just in case..

Was it only VISA or did Mastercard get hit too?

Was it only VISA or did Mastercard get hit too?

Both of them..

 

[armstrong]

Ouch. That's bad news for me, as it could mean a bunch of my clients' monthly recurring payments being declined. Once declined, a large percentage of users (perhaps 1/3) don't come back to submit new CC info.

[Beachie]

Both of them..

[Sohil]

At least your bank cares.

Usually this happens when $0.01 is taken from it.

Makes me glad to know a hacker will never be able to hack into my mattress!
