Anybody else getting their Debit cards hacked lately?
Somehow, my bank debit card keeps getting hacked.


A few weeks ago, my card was hacked, my bank notified me and asked if I "attempted to purchase gas at...."

I said NO. They deactivated my bank card, and I had to go in and get another one.


Today, within a few minutes, TWO DIFFERENT BANKS notified me that my (debit) cards were "attempting to purchase gas at WAWA...."


I mean, WTH is going on?!?!?!?!


Is anybody else getting hacked this much?


I don't purchase a lot of stuff on line, I don't go to weird web sites and give up my card numbers....and certainly NOT with the second card - which is my business card from a different bank.


Am I the ONLY ONE the "Russians" are hacking?!?!? LOL

Re: Anybody else getting their Debit cards hacked lately?
How do you get a spare?

You mean from the same bank & account??

I'll ask them about that tomorrow (when I go to get a new card) - second one in less than a month!

I was sitting at home today, didn't really need the card then, so I'll have time to get a new one, but it's a pain to keep going through this garbage.

HOW (and why) does this keep happening????

No, cause I never use my debit card. I use credit card for everything, and then pay the credit card bill off each month.

Re: Anybody else getting their Debit cards hacked lately?
Also, I don't use debit cards anymore.

I learned my lesson after my bank account got emptied a couple days before Christmas years back.

Credit cards are so much safer. If you pay your balance off every month it's no different than a debit card. Better actually because it improves your credit score too.

Nope.

My bank account Visa debit card.


BTW, the bank is a Credit Union.

The biz acct bank is a small, local bank.

I don’t think the debit card specifically is your issue.

Don't save your credit/debit cards on any websites. Always manually enter in your details each time.

Also, it could have been any in-store purchase as well if it was swiped. Thieves can install skimmers that you can't even notice that record the details.

Card fraud is just an inevitable fact of life now.

Don't keep more than $40 on my debit card. Empty the card after each direct deposit. You will suffer no loss.

Cancel your debit card so it can’t be used.

Maybe the bank gave someone else the same card number.

The thing is, since the card was hacked just a month or so ago, I had to manually put it in again this time for Chewy! So then less than a week later, I'm hacked again?!?! I'm starting to think it WAS Chewy.

The bank contacted ME today and asked if I tried to purchase gas at a WAWA (don't even know which one). Obviously, I did not, so I said "NO." So they cancelled the card immediately. And now I need to go in to the bank and have a new card issued.

Second time in a month of this type incident.

Re: Anybody else getting their Debit cards hacked lately?
people saying there was a key logger or a device hacked if that was the case they wouldn't do a $1 test at a gas station with the card number they would have cleaned out the account

the $1 test at gas station is either a skimmer or website hack
