I was in a restaurant and my CC was declined for a $10 lunch so I called and found out that they had detected fraudulent activity. Canceled my card and got a new one. I later got the letter and figured out that my order at getbmwparts was the cause.
I was in Canada in May visiting my folks and noticed that everyone there has the chipped "smartcards" with which you use a password. Much more difficult to hack. So WTF, don't understand why we don't have it in the USA. The other issue is the glaring lack of security by many e-commerce operators. I hope getbmwparts changes the vendor who manages their site after this incident.

Anyway, unfortunately payment processing is just silly insecure. Edit: here's a good article on chip and pin in the us vs abroad - http://www.bankrate.com/finance/cred...-coming-1.aspx Short version, processors don't care about rolling it out in the US since they can't transfer fraud liability to the consumer by doing so (which is legally guaranteed not to happen).

I got fraudulent charges from this as well earlier this year. I had to change my credit card number twice within the span of a month.
