Ditto. But it still got stolen. I tried to use Google Pay and it was rejected, so I switched to credit card and used mine.
The local bank came up good for me though. I had the $$ back in my account a day later.
Ug bad website stealing cc info
Actually, it was a gas station here in town. Several other folks I know had something similar happen over a few days, so let's just say I won't be going back there, lol.
Someone has a skimmer on the pump you used
Except it was the inside card machine in this case, not the pump.
I just stopped in for a snack, lol.
Sounds like an inside job.
I... handn't thought about that. It very well could be.
Did you use the magnetic stripe on your card?
In this type of situation I only see the cashier as potentially being guilty if he was able to swipe the card without you seeing.
What at the changes he could attach a skimmer on an in store reader and you not notice? Unless they make them super tiny nowdays...
Or the firmware on the card reader got hacked. This is what I'm suspecting because I've stopped at that place several times over the last 5 or 6 years.
yeah - like the target hack.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I'm relatively certain the card reader itself isn't exactly modern, lol.

Can't download a Printer Driver from support.lexmark.com.
Why - because it's a .EXE file and the FW blocks it... Like really? oFFS!

oh - I I don't see it as breaking tools IT needs - I need they need to provide a solution for IT - such as the one I suggested - or a separate network for IT to use that doesn't have those things blocked.

yes - there needs to be a path - an accepted and useable path - to get the tools and such needed. So that one doesn't 'break the system' and end up with a data breach... That... That would be a very bad thing (to happen again).

So sad but true!
Why do so many companies have to hear it from an outsider before they believe it?

We will have your answer when we figure out why kids will listen to their friends and friends parents vs their own parents.
