Just got a very nice letter from Gunparts Corp. (Numerich) that somebody got into their computer system and got names, credit card #s, expiration dates and security codes.
Those things should remain in their systems only as long as it takes to verify the transaction.
I NEVER save CC info with the vendor by choice.
Lovely……

Yeah, me too. And it clarifies why my bank called last month with questions about apparent phony charges.
Fortunately, they caught them and credited it back to my account. Several different charges for different things, to the tune of about $1200 total. Issued me a new card.
Protect your info people. I won't be ordering from Numrich again until I have assurances things have been tightened up.

Yes, never save anything online where money is involved.

Mine got hacked two weeks ago. Someone in Oregon used it. Luckily it was caught on the first transaction.
Canceled the card ASAP.
Received a new card with a new number this week.
My card is setup to email me every time it's used.

It cost me a few dollars extra but I do a prepay card for all my online purchases that might store my info. When I get ready to buy input just what I need on it so if it gets hacked they might get 5 bucks or so tops.

That sounds like a pain (of course so is dealing with fraudulent charges), but it's probably the most secure way to buy online. |

....Those things should remain in their systems only as long as it takes to verify the transaction.... I'm going to pontificate a bit here and say that since there are basically NO consequences to the party who loses control of your information, there is no incentive to be diligent in protecting it. Insurance companies and "healthcare providers" are the WORST. It's so convenient to blame it on hackers, but it's the sloppy, negligent and careless way personal information is handled - NOT JUST the hackers.
Any time I've sold to/bought from/traded with a private individual online, unless they also had a business, I do not save even their address once the transaction is complete and they are happy.
As long as it costs the customer, nothing more will be done. If it affects the businesses' bottom lines, the maybe something will be done. I believe (radical proclamation alert) making entities who lost the information responsible for any and all expenses or losses incurred by the individual AND sending hit teams and drones after hackers is the only answer. There is not enough accountability for losing control of peoples' private information and I have witnessed it first-hand, over and over again, right at the intake/data input level where the person demanding the information doesn't even KNOW the law or collect the information correctly. Every time I refuse to allow someone to scan my driver's license, they get miffed and don't even want to see it, but the law says they have to see it to make sure it's ME who is using my insurance card.

We all feel that way.
Just thought I’d let the community know.
