not good.
Im keeping an eye on mine.


This is weird--it tells me that saved cards were potentially compromised so it sounds like more than just a skimming attempt.
The lack of information--delivered in a professional manner--is appalling.
A link at the top of a product page? Really?

Big fans of pizza...

The pizza loving fraudsters charged a mix of mundane smaller charges (pizza!) along with one larger one...if I understood the Indian woman talking to me in a heavy accent from her basement in New Delhi correctly.

I had a card hacked as well - the charge was for something called "Venus et Fleur," and was for over $570. Someone's attempt at an expensive Valentine's Day gift, I guess! But my credit card company had already declined the charge due to their really good fraud detection scheme, and sent me an email asking me if I nevertheless recognized it, in case I wanted to try to put the charge through again (obviously not!).

And I know that some folks have complained about not getting notification, but I received a preliminary email from Strat dated Feb. 8 (saying what they had "just learned," announcing that they had immediately disabled credit card functionality and saying that any new orders should be paid by credit card through their paypal link), and a follow-up email with the full explanation on Feb. 10 (including the info that the hack was in effect from Jan. 5 through Feb. 8). I guess either emails were not sent out to some, or email spam/junk filters caught some of the emails.

By the way, I think Strat might consider bringing back John Garcia's blog. This is not the time to be a faceless entity. Having somewhere where they could provide an explanation of what happened with updates would be helpful.
