[NSRCA-discussion] FMA Database Compromised

[Archie Stafford]

Matt,

 

The security symbol would not have helped here.  I'm sure FMA has a fairly
secure site.  Their database was what was compromised.  Technology improves
daily for this type of fraud.but so do the people doing it.

That is why I am so leary of using a credit card somewhere like that.   Plus
I do always check if the website has a little security symbol on the bottom
of the page.

 Bingo, that explains it. Good catch!

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.

 

Mike
