[QUOTE="Murray20c8, post: 325038, member: 6078"] So, it appears a site I had been to many years ago was hacked and never told anyone. They got that email address and password. It is one of many passwords I use. I have about 100 sites that have usernames and passwords. I don't use the same one on all sites, but it appears I used this one a few too many times. The one I used on here was also discovered in a compromise (houzz . com). I found [URL='https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords']this site[/URL] to be helpful in checking all my passwords. Anyway, I also normally do not leave my credit card info on sites except ones I use a lot like Amazon. Well, I thought I could trust Walmart and I likely can, but I can't trust myself. I got too lazy. So some script kitty discovered my email and password for Walmart and ordered a couch worth about $250.00. I got an email Early Sunday morning 3:20 am from Walmart thanking me for my order. I compared it with others I'd received from Walmart and the links were very short and unidentifiable so I thought it was a phishing scam and ignored it. Later on Sunday I noticed the visa entry and immediately called Visa to cancel my card and report the fraud. I also called Walmart late Sunday night and told them of the fraud and to cancel the order. They said they did, but I got another email from Walmart telling me "Your order is on the move, Brandon"!! So I looked up the address that Canpar is delivering it to and it doesn't exist! Weird! Who will receive the couch??? Is someone at Canpar the fraudster? Anyway, my passwords have now all been checked and changed. It has taken me about a day to get them all changed and checked. I feel like an idiot because I know better. I was a computer security officer for many years. I got complacent. So, I tell all this just to advise. Don't be an idiot like me. While I do store my passwords in an encrypted password program I got lazy and used too many, too many times! I'll also never store a credit card on any site if I don't have to. This guy stumbled upon the one site that happened to have it. Phew..... [/QUOTE]
