Walmart account hacked

I changed the password as well, and here is an interesting thing.

On the USA Walmart site, a password can be 100 characters long

On the Canadian site, it's limited to 26 characters and even worse, they just truncate it without notice.

Does everyone know Walmart offers 2 factor authentication? Meaning you login with a username and password, and then have to enter a code from some device (or email) you possess. Using "2FA", hackers with your password still can't get into your account.

I wonder what other online ordering websites could have hacks like this? Maybe it's time to add 2FA to amazon and other accounts, too.

Here is a weird thing that happened when I deleted my one credit card on the Walmart site.

A day later I decided to login and change my passwords, and when looking at my account, it showed 2 Credit cards of mine, that I've used in the past , including the one I deleted the previous day.

So I deleted Both. Hopefully they stay deleted.

I had a similar thing happen with Zoom. When the pandemic first hit I used my personal cc to buy a paid subscription so we could hold virtual BOD meetings. (I had to do it quickly and didn’t have access to a card paid by the association). When my term was up in September 2021 I logged in to the Zoom account, deleted my card, and told the new person to attach a card before the subscription auto-renewed for an annual subscription in November.

Zoom charged my personal card, which I had deleted, for that November renewal.
