In addition, one must never give their credit card number to any customer service employees. Any one of them could use it improperly. Also, never give your credit card number to 3rd party vendors at Amazon. Those folks could also have their database compromised.
If Amazon did have their database compromised, it would make headlines and we'd all see it in the news.
The solution, in any event, is have the bank issue a new credit card to you and then change the number at Amazon. |
Yes, I checked for the Trojan and don't have it. I know that Mac users need to stop thinking they are immune. The bank issued me a new card but I'm not using it at Amazon. How patient do you think the bank will be if it happens again and they already warned me?
If Amazon's databases were hacked, and they have DISCOVERED it it would be in the news. Like I said, it takes a while to sort these things out.
