Good news is that my credit card company (Chase) caught the fraudulent use before I did. So, kudos to their fraud/security department.
But it nevertheless is disturbing. Some 4 weeks ago my Chase Sapphire card number was hacked. Then 2 days ago my Chase Marriott card was hacked.
Same pattern both times. An online purchase attempt, then a nominal charge at a hotel. Chase claims they have no idea how this hacking happened.
I take reasonable precautions with my credit cards (including going online every day to make sure no unauthorized purchases) but I guess this is the price of technology.
