I was recently hit after buying tires online. The vendor got hacked and a bunch of numbers were stolen is the story. They hit me for $2200 worth of tickets through Lufthansa overseas someplace which maxed the card, and then tried to put another $5k on the card. After the first charge my credit union locked the card. It took me about 10 minutes on the phone and a faxed affidavit to say that I didn't make the charges to set everything right. I've got the same account still but with new numbers.

I posted on the miata board because edgeracing.com sells lots of tires to miata folks, and found that there were at least another half dozen folks that had also been stuck after buying from them. I called them and they admitted that they had been hacked and said that they had been told not to notify their customers.
