I wasn't alerted until I tried to use my card at WalMart at about 7:30 PM HST and it was declined.
I went home and checked my account and found the three transactions, and immediately called the emergency number on the card and permanently blocked the card.
Now I need to go to my bank and get a new card issued, then inform all my on line payment folks that the number was changed. I also need to initiate procedures to recover the fraudulent losses, I'm not sure who's pocket it comes from but I suspect it's Sports Authority's.

Good luck, though I am a bit surprised you have to go to the bank to get a new debit card. When ours was hacked years ago, the bank put a hold on the card, called us, cancelled the card immediately and then sent a new one.
This was a debit card and it had been used fraudulently.
