Heads up to anyone who got notified of the Wargames Vault data breach. My bank just called with over $6,000 USD worth of fraudulent charges on my credit card. You should check out your account very carefully. |

Sorry to hear that. Glad they caught it. |

Yeah, my bank is pretty good at this. The good thing is I will get all the charges refunded to my account. |

Thanks for the update. I'm no longer debating how seriously to take this. |

Dang. I wonder how far this category of target can go. I imagine that small hobby businesses are pretty vulnerable, and hackers really don't care where they get the credit card info. Like Saber I try to stick with PayPal whenever possible. But I guess it is only a matter of time before PayPal gets hacked too. Well, that's a nice little dose of Sunday morning sunshine. Ain't it. |

Yeah, I got the email from Wargame Vault giving me the 'good' news… No damage (apart from the hassle of getting a new card). The one good thing is that your credit card account is safe; any fraudulent charges are removed. |
