If you are a Alabama fan then you may want to call the bank. No they are not looking for a loan , but the very popular site Bamastuff.com has had it’s security breached. The data that was taken has been used , well some of it anyway. So some people have had to start dealing with the banks and the pain that is trying to get money back from credit card companies.
You can read more about this specific problem at the link here on al.com http://blog.al.com/breaking/2012/01/tide_fans_ordering_from_bamast.html
Some of the things they tell you on there are kind of obvious:-
- Change passwords – You should not be using the same password for different places
- Check your statements – You do that anyway don’t you?
But I know how easy it is to get complacent with your cards. So once a year cut em up and ask for new ones. Make sure you do it at a time when you are not going on holiday though!
Good luck to the bama fans who have had their credit card data compromised, I hope no one loses their identity!
