[NSRCA-discussion] FMA Database Compromised

[Jay Marshall]

This is the reason I use "one time" credit card numbers from Shop Safe where
you specify the max amount and a valid period. I have never understood why
credit card numbers must remain on a database after they have cleared. They
ought to be encoded also!

If any of you have recently bought products on line from FMA Direct using a
credit card, check your credit card account.  FMA's database has been
compromised/hacked and whoever has the information is making charges against
the credit cards.  I read this in the electric forum on Ezonemag.com.
Sure enough, when I brought up my VISA account, there was a NAPSTER charge
there so I cancelled the card.  You might want to check yours if you've done
business on line with FMA recently.
