Just curious. I had my credit card hacked around the start of December. The card was new from a new bank because I had recently switched banks. Got a couple of $1 transactions then one for $218 at the Hilton in Paris France. I used the card at Props and a couple of software companies that I buy stuff from all the time. Anybody else get their cards hacked this shopping season?

No hacks, but a fraud alert to make sure I was really purchasing a laptop online to be sent to my house, actually the order cancelled itself, and I had to reorder it and have it shipped to the store.

I usually blame restaurants, hacked gas pumps and internet use on unsecured Wifi for hacks like this. Also your computer could have been infiltrated with key tracking software.
