I just received letter from restaurant depot that stated the credit/ debit card machines were hacked on cards used for purchases from September 21-November 18 2011
Is that the same as Cash & Carry? I used my card there in that time frame..
Gawd! Tell me that this isn't true! Is this just one store? How was it done? Is RD
notifying everyone?
Sled,
That explains it. Got a call from my Macy's AE, asking if I had tried to make a $770.00 purchase at Best Buy the previous day. It was refused, and the person fled. Seems they made a duplicate card, and tried a $1.25 purchase initally that went through. The $770.00 bounced. We killed the card and they issued me a new one. I had used that card at RD.

no, different companies
One thing to understand about this situation is that Restaurant Depot will have no way to notify people that have shopped with a day pass/guest pass. There are a lot of Brethren that do not have their own membership at RD so they will not be notified. I am going to notify everyone at my company (except Sacco) in case they used a guest pass to shop. We need to spread the word because this is a potentially massive amount of identity theft.
FYI, the thieves had malware running in the RD system and were sending our credit card info to a server in Russia for about 2 months. Farkers!
