Just got a call from RBC bank which is a US branch of a Canadian bank. Apparently someone has been using our RBC VISA credit card and the Visa fraud dept. noticed that it hadn't been used since May. They called to confirm that it was compromised and are issuing new ones. The purchases were online so someone got the number somewhere.

I understand that debit cards are an even easier target, but this is the 3rd time one of our cards has been compromised without leaving our hands. And they would have to get the 3 security numbers on the back too! Thankfully we don't have to pay for the theft.
