Conspiracies aside, your card experience is similar to someone close to me. He's from US and was also target of these hackers. It seems like dealing with such problem in the US is quite a chore and even asking the police of help is no use. It's insane how slow the system when dealing with these problem which really could affect your life. But really, I am curious, how did they get hold of your details? is it because in general the data is compromised or was it because something else?
gone through the proper channels to correct the situation but I was holding out to get a loan which won't happen now —drum roll— due to some hacker choosing my card for escort services in Thailand.
Also Just hope those hackers get more crabs.
