Mid January I had my credit card hacked. I woke up to card not present alerts from various retailers with the first purchase for $5.34.... RED FLAG. Call the card company and cancel the card. Charges were all reversed.
Today I wake up to card not present alert for $1.34 to some golf simulator. RED FLAG.... cancel card...
Don't know how they're pulling it off. I have only had to replace this card once in the last 10 or so years due to fraud. Now two months in a row?? Seems like security somewhere is a bit lacking. I use the card for auto payments for utilities, streaming service, and it's tied to my Amazon account where it gets used most often. Then there's the in person use for groceries and gas and occasional department stores. Sadly it seems like just another price to pay for convenience. Oh well! tomorrow I'll be busy changing the card number AGAIN on those auto pay accounts.
Last time I forgot to change the card number for my internet service provider which I found funny since I was using the internet to change the number for other accounts. At least the list is fresh in my mind so that's a plus I guess??
