[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 106773, member: 439"] Our credit card number had "suspect activity" and they froze it a couple of years ago. The main computer for the bank was hacked, and thousands of credit card numbers were "stolen". The hackers were using a different card number every once in a while for several years. So it's really nothing that you have done or purchased - it could simply be hackers getting into the bank's computer mainframe. Ohio had a "thumb drive" stolen this spring that had many, many people's information on it, including SSN, etc. There is really NO way to protect yourself against this kind of thing. Unfortunately, between health insurance, employment, taxes, banks, and on and on, our information is spread everywhere. While you would hope it would be safe, it's really not. You just have to keep an eye on all your accounts for suspicious activity. [/QUOTE]
