Posted by Alexander Todorov on Fri 14 June 2013

Earlier I wrote about my personal experience with credit card fraud. Now this issue is back again! Bad luck!

Since my last card was re-issued I've used it only at Amazon Web Services, Google Apps and Globul. Nowhere else. According to the bank representative, who woke me up this morning, VISA has sent them a list of card numbers which need to be blocked immediately. The bank was vague about it but briefly mentioned some kind of a leak of VISA's card database.

Knowing how negligent payment operators can be I can easily accept this version. I'm wondering if there will be an official press release from VISA. Let me know if you hear about this!
