Ahh.. so I got a call from my personal bank yesterday informing me that a large datacenter for Visa transactions had been compromised and my account was among those heisted by the hackers
( Read more... )
I ain't skeert. The mom of my childhood buddy growing up had a refrigerator magnet that said: "The more you complain, the longer God lets you live". I've made that my mantra, and I plan to live eternally. ;D (his mom was a lutheran german, by the way.. so she'll probably live forever too) I went to my bank in person to make sure the "hacking" wasn't in fact its own social heist. They assured me that it was very real. It was NOT any particular business apparently, more a central processing center used by the communal banking system (though I believe the compromised system was in the possession of Wells Fargo). It had nothing to do with anyone's personal accounts either, the hackers simply got a snapshot of all Visa debit transactions for a couple of hours. I'm just lucky, I guess. HA!
