Credit Card Processing Company Loses Your Info, Blames Hackers

Looks like another Credit Card Processing company has lost customer information including names, credit card numbers, security codes, etc. Linkage. And again, its the fault of hackers that your information was lost. But what I want to know is, why don’t they have better security for this type of information? Or maybe they shouldn’t store it for long long periods of time on a computer (paper in a safe maybe?) so that would prevent a hacker or deranged employee from letting this information out? I always wonder.

So apparently my credit card number was stolen, how, I don’t know. But they rang up 3,000 dollars on it and some of the charges have yet to go through, but I suspect they will. Strangely, I have the card with me, there are no other copies of it, but it was somehow used (swiped) several times when I was working. Luckily, I probably won’t b fucked and lose the cash they spent, but its still a strange thing. But it makes me wonder: Has anyone else experienced this type of activity before?

These are the companies that are raping my card:
S*CHECKERS HYP SANDT – SANDTON ZA
PNP MORNINGSIDE GAUTENG ZA
PNP VILLAGE WALK FAM VILLAGE WALK ZA
TOUCHTONE HARROGATE GB
Makro Woodmead Johannesburg ZA

But looking at their merchant names, I really do suspect I didn’t make them. Considering that ZA is the country code for Zimbabwe and Most of those are cities in Zimbabwe. But you know.. Apparently I can be in two places at once according to quantum theory *(superposition).

I’ll keep posting about this interesting predicament.
