Heard about this on the radio this morning. If you've used cards there in the past, some bad people have stolen >40m card details for "Cardholder not present" transactions.

What a world we live in--we use credit cards to avoid having
cash in our pockets or purses,that Pickpockets could get at!!
Now the safety of Credit Cards is threatened. I repeat ---
WHAT A WORLD WE LIVE IN!!!!!!

They've just said on working lunch that most cards will have now expired due to chip and pin etc so the risk is very low.
No customers in the uk have known yet to have been affected.

What are "Cardholder not present" transactions??

Cardholder not present transactions are those where the person has purchased either on the phone or via internet
