Stolen information includes, to the extent you provided it to us, the following: name, address (city, state, zip, country), email address, gender, birthdate, phone number, login name and hashed password.

Customers outside the United States should be advised that we further discovered evidence that information from an outdated database from 2007 containing approximately 12,700 non-US customer credit or debit card numbers and expiration dates (but not credit card security codes) and about 10,700 direct debit records listing bank account numbers of certain customers in Germany, Austria, Netherlands and Spain may have also been obtained. We will be notifying each of those customers promptly.

There is no evidence that our main credit card database was compromised. It is in a completely separate and secured environment.

Not with SOE, at least at present. We'll see how the chips ultimately fall.

credit card you can change..

I think it's the identity fraud that's more scary...

We knew a friend who had a $20k loan taken out under his name and he had no idea about it...

Enlighten me with what you mean by change? I know my parents won't want a hassle like that lol, so with either or, I should be worried.

You can request a new card number from the bank where you have your account. Some may charge a fee, but most won't.

I just remember their shit was stolen before, and had like 4grand of auto parts ordered to toronto lol

As paranoid as I am, I use a reloadable debit card for stuff like this. I think there's about $15 left on the account tied to SOE.

well if you can be bothered, you can go to the bank and cancel your credit card and get another one renewed...

but with like your DOB and address and stuff you can't really change in an afternoon trip to the bank..

Hraes too fast.
