There were several other stores included in that. My bank already sent us new debit and credit cards just on the chance that we have been there. Someone hacked into their "clearing house" of credit info is the way I read the letter from our bank.

WOW, that's a lot of CC numbers.
US population = 298,444,215
CC nos. stolen = 47,500,000

Just so an argument is not started, is that supposed to be sarcastic, socal57che?

I took as 1 in every 6 Americans could be impacted by this breach...

cc #'s were stolen, as were names, addresses, and ************** id #s.

I agree. That was why I was wondering if it was sarcastic or not.

When they use the term Credit Card. That's not just Credit Cards in the classic sense but your Debit Card (Checking Visa/MasterCard) too...

Certainly not, just putting it into perspective. If you take into consideration how many of the people in the census have no credit cards at all (kids, low income,etc.)the odds for the rest of us increase dramatically.
BTW was it US cardholders only or worldwide accounts??

US, UK, Canada and I think Australia. :scared:
