So, yesterday made a purchase at newegg, but it wasn't like usual. Usually it has me do a "verified by visa" check, since I'm enrolled in the program, but it didn't do that yesterday. I thought it was odd but didn't think much of it. Several hours later I decided to check my credit balance online, to see if my newegg order had been charged through. I was a little nervous when my daily purchases was wrong, so I decide to give visa a call. I then find out that some site has "compromised" my visa and have charged me for some sort of "friend finder" service. My question is how do things like this happen? I think I'm very careful online, and I think newegg is a very respectable seller, and have made numerous puchases before without issue. I don't just hand my info out to everyone, in fact I only purchase from 3 online stores. I don't open attachments, and don't respond to phishing emails, and regularly scan my computer for viruses and spyware. I just don't see how it happened.
Any thoughts?
