Cloned credit card - can a virus have been responsible?

Recently, my credit card has been cloned and the thief has exceeded the limit (involving us in a rather embarrassing situation in a restaurant in Livorno, but this isn't the question!) It was suggested that this could have been made possible by a virus on my laptop which has allowed the author to hack in and clone the card and also the same problem can occur with the replacement of the map well obviously all the information about it will have been changed.

You have any suggestions on this subject?

Hello

Is this possible? If you have information on your computer, perhaps. However the most likely
situation was that the map has been duplicated when you used it in a restaurant or perhaps other purchases
where they can copy the entire strip for another card. The computer power off or even identity theft
other ways your trash, a credit card can be cloned.

If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
cause.

No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
the regular windows when you can.

  • Info credit card can be updated?

    Yesterday, I bought a Apple Watch on the Apple Store. Paid pay from my iPhone with Apple. While putting in place the night before I couldn't synchronize the card from my phone to the watch. Finally figured out it's because the phone card expires this month. Then I entered the security code is the replacement card, I wear now. I was able to enter the map on the watch through the procedure "add new card".

    So the question is... the card on my phone will be always good next month? Or will I have to update the security code and date expiry? If so, how?

    Alan

    Hi Alan

    No - it is not possible to update the date or expiration security code that is stored for a card within Apple to pay at the end and the replacement of a card.

    Each combination of credit card and device (for example, look at or iPhone) is given an account number unique device.

    Some card issuers can automatically associate your new card with the account number of existing device, directly to replace the old card. This leaves you free to continue to use the same card via Apple account pay without having to do anything yourself.

    Other card issuers may ask you to remove your old card to pay Apple and add the replacement of the card as a new card.

    Before you do anything, check with your card issuer to find out what process they use, and whether you need to take action. Depending on your bank, this information may also be available through their Web site.

  • Costco credit card fall Apple pay - Citibank Business

    On 20 June, Costco evolves Citibank Amex credit cards. If you have business Costco members, you must have a business card. It was very good with Amex since Apple support cards pay. Citibank allows no however any credit card business work with Apple pay and after several weeks of calls, I find that they have no intention to fix it. After 3 weeks of calls to Costco and Citibank, here's the deal: If you have a credit card business Costco you must cancel the new card when it arrives, go to Costco to cancel your membership and sign up for a NEW personal membership, then APPLY for a new card Citi personal!

    Anyone affected by this should call Costco and Citi (use the Costco # 800 to join Citi) and let them know that they should:

    1 Citi should support Apple pays for all cards. But for now:

    2-Citi should allow you to apply for a personal card, even if you have a Costco membership business.

    Also: Personal Amex and business cards support notifications Apple pay. Purchases appear on the iPhone and watch seconds them later. Citibank does not support notifications and from what I've heard don't know what they are!

    Good to know Info!

    BTW, if you wish, you can have the setup of your workstation as a User tip in the community using Apple pay in stores if you wish.

  • Credit card payment problem

    I have problems with this month, Adobe CC Plan payment. Initially, the problem was not being able to update the credit card information (error: PMT_000008), after having tried several browsers, clean cache and introducing the new card number (I have 8 requests for prior authorization charged to my new card) I was able to update the information of the card , but the old card is displayed in the "Payment information" section (masterCard * 41 this is the old card), but in the "registered Payment Options", the new map is saved as the default (* 18 new card). So I was wondering. The information of credit card offers day or not, because you have tried to load twice the old Cardinal

  • Pay the Bill after credit card update

    He is currently 20 days after the date of payment listed for the month.  I was sent 3 notices by electronic mail to need to update my credit card information.  We have recently moved and got new credit cards issued and I had no internet for a while.  Now that I've updated my credit card, I want to assure you that my payment for the month is made so that I can continue my current plan.  I don't want an interruption of service or plan must be cancelled. Thank you.

    Hello

    I checked and found that you have recently updated your billing information for your account. You must wait for the next 24 hours to allow the Adobe servers to debit your card payment pending.

    You can also contact customer service for more details.
