I saw something awhile back on Clark Howard - Visa account numbers are easy to hack. Here's a link.
http://clark.com/personal-finance-cr...dit-card-hack/ I had a Visa hacked twice. Now I don't use the card online. I also signed up for alerts for any spending on it. Need to register my other cards for alerts too. Unfortunately, this seems to happen all too often. I've had Discover reissue a card for suspicious activity. Shopped at Target during their big hack, etc. You may want to look into freezing your credit reports to help protect your credit. |

Clark Howard has a great how-to guide for freezing credit. I did mine in less than 10 minutes. Unfroze it once last year to buy my car. It was easy. You can unfreeze it for a time period or for a certain company only (like I did for my car loan company).
