Wed, 20 Apr 2011 11:00:00 +0000 http://www.krebsonsecurity.com/?p=1643#comment-20988 The 2009 financial reform CARD Act was meant to help safeguard consumers. One provision of the bill is that those that provide credit can't issue credit unless the applicant can prove that they can repay it. One unintended consequence of these new rules is that stay-at-home parents may lose some financial freedom. I found this here: <a title="Stay-at-home partners could lose ground with CARD Act" href="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2011/04/15/card-act-stay-at-home/" rel="nofollow">CARD Act could strip say-at-home partners of financial identity</a>.

This company has been and is reputable. Hackers will attempt and sometimes succeed at getting your information on any website you use. Monoprice has been transparent about everything going on and has FIXED the issue at hand. If you want to purchase items 20 times the price at your local Wal-M or Best-B, then by all means go ahead. I love this website and EVERY SINGLE item is of the highest quality and BEST price anywhere. This is the I N T E R N E T folks, your information is N E V E R 100% safe. You probably have a trojan on your computer right now and you don't even know it. -Love, Peace, and, Chicken Grease!

Mon, 19 Apr 2010 19:53:17 +0000 http://www.krebsonsecurity.com/?p=1643#comment-5145 How could you say this probably only effects .01% of their customers? If someone stole their CC# database then it actually effects 100% of their customers. No less. I just recently began to see bogus chargers this weekend. I advice anybody who's ever bought anything from monoprice to cancel their cards. Whether or not you buy from monoprice again is up to you. I sure as hell am not.

I still have to worry about it forever. The free service expires after 1 year. BS. Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see.

I just happen to have fallen into it. The notification letter from Monoprice didn't get to me until the week of April 12. I've cancelled my credit card and have not had any illegal charges. Still, this is garbage. Cheap cables are available elsewhere. I'll take my chances with other cable companies and I will contact Monoprice and ask them to cancel my account and delete my info. I have NO faith in that happening correctly. The letter I received says the breach window was for purchases between Feb 23-Mar 5, 2010. I just happen to have fallen into it.

All kind of unauthorized purchases were showing up on my online statement. The weird thing though is, some of them got removed and didn't get charged (posted). But one stayed there and posted for around 165.00. Sucks cuz I had or have been without a credit/ATM card, so I have to get money from bank often. My credit card/DEBIT card got hit as well.
