Thanks for sharing this. We recently discovered my mother's debit card number was stolen and fraudulently used in Georgia. My mother bought gas at the Mapco on Jeff Road Road in Huntsville.

Monitor those accounts asap --- and if possible, ask the banks to issue you new credit cards. Don't wait!

I am doing this at first sign of daylight.

We canceled the card last week. The bank is sending a new card. Hope the FBI catch the crooks involved.

Yup.. I know of 3 people just today that did get their CC numbers hacked and tried.

Any updates on this? Scary stuff

[RatSnake]

Still an on-going investigation with the Feds... this will drag out.

But I think the perps are lying low - and not touching those accounts now - as they are being monitored.

Yesterday I was informed somebody tried to use my debt card info on a purchase in New Orleans at a Kmart. RFCU is sending a new card.
