I'm not a "fanboy", and I have never said I don't believe the original poster. I have no doubt that her credit card was compromised, what I don't believe is the logical leap she made that it is Amazon's fault.
I don't believe that someone at Amazon waited until a purchase was made, grabbed her credit card number and immediately sold it to someone else who ran down to Wal-Mart all within a few hours. It just doesn't ring true. In the unlikely event it was one of the very few people who have access to un-encrypted card numbers within Amazon, do you really think they'd need to wait until a purchase was made before stealing a card number? Do you really think they would risk it all for a few numbers rather than the thousands if not millions that were available to them?
I'm sure something bad happened, I just think there are far more likely scenarios than a data breach at Amazon
