I have used a credit card at Sweetbay during this time; at the end of January, my primary credit card was hacked (rail pass purchase in Italy) and was immediately cancelled. First time I've had exposure to card # theft....hmmm, makes me wonder if the Sweetbay breach was the cause.

Like Trav, I check my accounts regularly...weekly, rather than daily...to look for unusual activity.

With the convenience of online shopping and credit cards over cash comes this increasing vulnerability. Those of you who use debit cards need to be extra careful...a thief can go right into your bank account and withdraw...and, you don't have the same liability protection offered by credit card companies.
