아이고, 이게 무슨 일인가요. 카드사 담당자가 전화를 걸어 충격적인 소식을 전했습니다. 제 카드 중 하나가 이번 주말에 대량으로 사용되었습니다. 미국 전역의 여러 장소에서 한 신용카드에 다수의 청구가 발생했습니다. 매우 의심스러워서 확인 전화를 해왔고, 실제로 사기 거래였습니다.
The card company told me they had put the card on hold and will send me a new one this week. *whew* Now, I am tracing down where and how could that have happened.

Yes, I see ‘ploghost’ twice in the warning email from Dan Moses, maybe because you used two cards. I’m also one of the victims. :( Luckily, Citibank rejected all attempted charges after the first one. Next time I’ll use my $182-limit AIG card to be on the safe side. :D
Just found out the source of my tapped credit card. It wasn’t any of my doing but one of the online companies I regularly remit payments to. Apparently, their database has been tampered with. Got emails from other people who also got tapped.
I see a niche for internet cafe operators, plastered on the outside window… “Secure Surfing… we format everyday to get rid of pesky spywares” or “anti virus installed and security patched regularly”
that would be a good enough reason to jack up the price … hehehe

Simple lang nman yan , sabi mo gumamit kc ng PC , dun ka nagbabayad , nakuha credit card thru dat , is a keylogger fortunately. Tapos right away pinambili ng mga product sa ibang bansa. Madali lang nman gawin yun , sa susunod lang ingat kayo. Wag mag type na kahit anong confidential info mas lalo na pag hindi nyo sarili PC nyo.
***Hehehehe… ako din dati madami na nabili sa credit cards
I’m sending out emails to the last two companies where I used the card. It’s most likely their databases have been compromised or something.
you should be careful next time. maybe someone is not just watching on you. hehehe.. ganyan talaga pag sumisikat na. marami ng naiingit at kumukontra. :)
I am checking which legit sites I used my card before it was illegally used last Saturday. I am not sure how or why but it could be possible one of the PCs I used had a spyware, a keylogger or something else.
I have previously used them to pay for the servers in our Data Center but when the credit limit did not suffice, I used another card. I’m still blank at to what could have caused it but it is possible that one of the sites I used it for could have been hacked.
baka na-wire-tap ka yugs! :D
well atleast nahuli nila at nahalata yung transactions.
BTW. Lufet nga pala (Abe Olandres on MB) celebrity status na, Baka makalimutan mo ang mga loyal fans mo ah, hehehe :)
Definitely it has to be an inside job with one of the sites you used it at. Any idea what these sites were?
btw, ano daw and mga ipinagbili sa card mo? hehehe :-)
(congrats on the manila bulletin feature!)
that card misuse would really be dangerous. how on earth would have they gotten the number?
if fleeb was right, then metrobank has got to do some twitching with their tech staff.
hello! just read the article sa manila bulletin. wala lang.
Phishing, or maybe you accidentally posted your account in the internet, or maybe some hackers maybe infiltrating metrobank and goes on to commit identity theft.
Metrobank Mastercard. I rarely use it so the card company got alerted right away.
dang. that sucks. your card from which card company?
Once I faced the same problem and also asked myself how could it happen. Now applying for a new card I always ask representatives of the company how fast they alert and what the measures to protect my identity are. But still things can happen…
