Wow, that's scary. Are you sure you haven't used your credit card for other online purchases?

Use PayPal online anywhere if you want to be "safe"

Psn was the only place you use your card in the last month? You know it just takes 10 seconds to take a pic of your card on a gas station, clothes store, etc etc etc...

Easy solution for that. Never shop for clothes and steal gas from other cars.

Lol... Even easier its to not have a card at all, my life goal is, live at the expense of your parents until I'm able to live at the expense of my sons (sound better in my native language)

The solution is, never let anyone handle your card, here the machine has to be on sight and you must be able to do the payment yourself without the card ever leave your hand...

Yea, more likely than not it was at a sketchy gas station, or a waiter/waitress you had stole the card information.

Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

How on earth did they get into your bank account? That would have to be from a debit card, wouldn't it?

Hey guys just letting you know this.

Recently had multiple $200 withdrawals from my account. I got a text from Bank of America saying their was unusual activity and sure enough checked my account after.

So this means somehow somebody got my card information. The only thing I can think of is through my Ps4 and Psn. I recently bought Destiny for $60 (a few days ago) so the purchase was still fresh.

Not guarenteeing any hacking going on here, but with Sony's previous history you guys should keep a watchful eye over your bank accounts!!!

Well something I found out recently is if making a purchase with a card at a retail store people can now put an attachment on thier smartphones get a thermal image of the most recent buttons pressed and get your pincode and you would never even notice them doing it. So what I do now is after I put in my pin I rub my fingers on all the buttons.

That could a case, but usually, 6 of out 10 times it's someone you know or in your family. You should ask anybody you live with IMO. But close your Bank Accounts and get new account #'s, safest thing to do.
