Telling them their credt card information might have been stolen????
Got a letter yesterday telling me my credit card number may have been stolen......
sorry for any inconvienience.
Had to call & close that account and apply for a new number. That means I'll be without a credit card for over a week!
Looks like Midsouth will loose at least one customer over their lack of security! My wife says absolutely no more dealing with them.
No I did not get that letter, andI buy a lot of stuff from them. Thanks for the heads up. I will give them a call right away. Something you might want to look into is a virtual card. It never gives the store your "actual" credit card number. I got one through Citibank.

I tried to call them to speak to the accounting department. Needless to say I was put on hold and then the person I was suppose to talk to had left for lunch. I think they might be getting swamped with calls.

The letter said the "attack" was in late August. It came from outside the US and they have retained a computer security firm to investigate.
This identity theft is really getting to be a problem! Last year my ssn & personal information was stolen from my state's tax records! The state gave me 1 free year of enrollment with a firm that protects my finances by alerting me anytime an application for a credit card or loan is filed in my name. If I don't personallyapprove it it is denied and an investigation is started to find who applied!
You would be surprised how many businesses are not prpperly fire-walled. Worked for some folks who had a pretty good sized environmental company butwould not pay $30,000to get everything properly fire-walled. Yep, they got hit. Lots ofcompany secrets and bidding information gone into cyber-space.
anyone else get a letter from midsouth
