Recently I made a purchase online and paid using my Credit Card.
Yesterday I get a letter (USPS) from the Retailer saying their computer system was hacked and my C.C. # may have been stolen.
Maybe I'm getting old, or because of all the precautions I have taken over the years, but it did not bother me.
I figure protecting your identity is the new way of living.
What helped is:
1) Freezing Credit Reports at (5) Agencies
2) Reviewing C.C. Statements Monthly (and all financial statements)
3) Every web-site I'm registered on has a different password
I will be a little cautious for awhile, but,
Life goes on.
