Thank you for the warning. I checked and OK so far. This type of breach is really scarey.
Two charges for 9.84 on my card...one from Feosac.com and another from onwsac.com. Went to both their websites and they are exactly the same page with a different name...no services for sale only a phone number and a contact email...the prefix on the number isn't even a US number. Check your accounts folks there is a huge scam going on right now. Account closed and new card on the way here...did a google search on these sites and thousands of folks have been compromised by these 2 companies. What a bunch of scumbags...
edit...both these charges were on 12-20-13 with in minutes of each other

I have a separate credit card for online purchases. I transfer the EXACT amount of my online purchase to it when I use it.
So there is never anything to get. No overdraft protection on the card, of course, and my bank has excellent fraud protection team who catches these things before they even make it to my card anyway.
The one time I got hacked for a few dollars, the fraud protection team at the bank noticed it way before I did. Most good banks have people looking at this stuff nowadays.

It's not like that would stop this. I called my bank w/in 24 hours of the posting of the transaction.
I got hit for $9.84 called my bank, night staff is worthless, all they would do is issue me a credit, I'm gonna call again in the morning.
I use a Citi bank card that you can get a virtual account number for each on line transaction. Only good one time, works great Have had no problems since I started useing it. Prior to that I had been hit 5 times on 3 different cards.
I'm not an expert but not sure if this is a good idea. I think you are better off with a low limit credit card as those can easily be disputed compared to prepaids and checking.
May I ask which online vendors you've been shopping with lately? Is it certain websites that were compromised?
I know that Target shoppers are at risk right now, as hundreds of thousands of credit card numbers were compromised due to security issues.

Here is a 3 page thread about the same thing.

I use a prepaid only anymore for online purchases. The exact amount I am about to spend gets put on there right before I spend it. There is nothing for anyone to get if they try. No need for a dispute.
Well I didn't get hit today but I did get a call from those stupid people about lowering your credit card interest rate, right after I went to McDonald's also. I believe it was card services or something like that. I had not gotten a call from them in a long time until today
Oh ok. So it always has a zero balance until you are ready to use. Sounds exhausting to me as I buy things online almost daily but I'm sure it's effective and sounds like it works for you. For me, limited accounts with constant monitoring has done me right *knocks on wood*
With no overdraft or auto transfer the only time money can be had is when you put in. If the funds are not in the account the transaction is denied. No transaction = nothing to dispute. Same with a reloadable card.
