In my case it was the credit card processor that was hacked. As bad as it sounds to say this, Thank goodness I wasn't the only one affected. Taking comfort in numbers, ya know.

You must have gotten your order. Being nice to a girl named after a calendar month
Poor beckblue, I went to bed after having made a witty joke about her and I havent even been able to catch up onit. Reading pages now. Dont worry Beckster, I haven't forgotten about ya!
Oh my... all of this credit card stuff is worrying me a lot!! I don't have a real CC, so I have to use my bank card with the visa symbol for my purchases. If someone jacked that I'd be screwed.
I've ordered so much stuff from so many places lately... in super worried now. I use PayPal when I can, and avoid buying direct from China or anything that looks shady, but it seems like that's not enough these days.
Damn

Haha. How'd you know?? Yesterday I got a slew of vapemail, including 5 HHV's, 3 of them are NETs. Rest are palette cleansers, aka. heavy menthol kissing angels hehe. All steeping at the moment, I"ll def share my opinions on them after a quick steep.
If it's any consolation, my case was a debt card with a visa logo too. And just like Dusty said, a quick call from the bank, new card sent out, problem solved. So if Im not worried, you shouldnt be hun.
Maybe I'll reduce my risk and just not order from anyone except HHV from now on.... not like I'd be missing much....
The more I think about it a prepaid cc would probably be the best bet for the variety of vaping toys. It's not like I do pay everything off each month anyway and the most I would be out would be whatever I have loaded on my card...It might also reduce impulse purchases
Prepaid cards are the safest way to avoid identity theft, but It doesn't guarantee you won't be hacked though. The downside to using prepaid cards is if you get hacked and someone drains the balance, you're at a financial loss. Banks are insured and even debit cards are protected against fraud. In the case of fraud, the bank will take the financial hit and you lose no money whether it's from a debit or a credit card. If you use prepaid cards, use very low balances and refill them only as needed.
I was first introduced to prepaid gift cards for iTunes when I bought an engraved ipad for my boo. She likes to buy every app she can fit. I haved old iTunes gift cards stacked up like a deck of cards. If I had taken that approach to vaping I might have not just bought a used Saber Touch on the classys. 
Afterall I have provaris and now reos, what was I thinking? So thumbs up on the idea of prepaids on a vape budget, or I could have just demonstrated some self control but where's the fun in that

I'm getting lethargic from not having anyone to chase around the ECF network. Go create some havoc will ya? I need to stretch my legs.
There are a dozen ways for someone to get a hold of your cc#. There is no foolproof way to secure online purchases. You need to be wary and save all your receipts and records of online purchases. I keep email confirmations in a separate file and file all hard copy invoices once I receive packages. That way I can trace my activity very easily. Modern fraud protection that the banks use is very effective. There's no need to get paranoid. The fact is that gas stations are still the #1 place where fraud originates. Just be aware and make sure all the payment pages you visit are encrypted with SSL (you have to have that turned on in your browser too) and that your connection to the site starts with "https".
Even if this had occured with HHV (which it didn't - for those just catching up) then I wouldn't let it deter me from placing future orders as long as they plug the leak. You can't put a price on loyality
By the way, everytime I run into someone with a monkey in eir avatar, I always pay more attention bcause every single time it's been someone older, wiser, more experiencd than me chiming in. 
I noticed when I placed my first order with HHV that they didn't keep the CC number. I had forgotten to check that box where you agree to terms....blah blah blah.... Checked the box and had to re-enter info. Since I only order once a month, I always just skim and forget to check the box. If you never have to enter your CC info, after the first time, your number is stored on some website vulnerable to hacking.
Just edited your post for ya Chak.
The Buddha says that change is inevitable - the only things we cannot change are birth and death. ....and taxes
Embrace change as the young sapling does.ommmmmmm
Well, if ya stopped mauling the mailman before he actually gives you the package, it all might stay intact. loll
Four days? Not bad. It would take two weeks here and show up busted.
Actually the REOS in this avatar is a mini, a nearly indestructable mechanical mod that fits into my shirt pocket and can withstand the punishment of life in a big rig.
Yes, I'm on EDT and the alarm normally goes off 2am my time. I actually rolled over for another hour this morning, sorry I was so late posting my morning well wishes.
IT LIVES !!!! What's up GT ? Haven't seen that smiling chimp for awhile. Hope you're not burning out on too much work. All work and no play would make GT a dull chimp !
Oh wow, I'm sorry to hear that RhP - there are a couple of threads going on the forum right now about some c/c problems - I can't quite ID where the breach came from, but some are indicating it may have been AV's processor network? Anyway, all of you should double check your c/c activity closely because there's a spate of it going round on vaping supplies at the moment.
I just woke up to a disturbing phone call
My CC # has been stolen. Long story short, bank cancelled it, sending me out new one, claims form (so if they catch the perps, I can prosecute) and looks like since I only had like 10 bucks left on my acct before it happened, they didnt get very far. It's funny, the reason I didnt have much left was because i bought so much vape gear before this happened. In a way, vaping has spared me the headache of losing hundreds of bucks to fraud lol
