you steal... ...nussink from me.

[substitute]

Someone broke into one of my credit card accounts online. I discovered this because I got email confirming my mailing address change. My... what? I signed on and had to reset the password, which had been changed. This can't be good. Hey! I have an address in New York City now?

I called them up and after some confusion we confirmed that I do not live in New York, nor did I buy anything from eBay today. They're sending me a new card. More unfortunately, the rep told me that whoever changed my address had the security code from the back of the card, indicating that they'd either had physical possession of the card at one time, had sold me something online, or had cracked some database at Chase (he didn't mention that last possibility).

Punchline: The account that was compromised only had $160 in credit available on it.

I logged into Amazon the other day and received a "Plog" (http://www.amazon.com/gp/plog/about.html/ref=cm_plog_learn/002-8873275-3520842) (link might not work) from an author thanking me for buying a book that I never bought. For a moment I became worried that someone was buying stuff on my account. But the invoices show it wasn't charged to me. I'm thinking it is either an error, or someone bought it for me for my upcoming b-day (maybe I had it on my wishlist) and they just haven't worked out all the kinks yet in their plog system.

Anyway, sucks that you got hacked.
