I got a phishy-looking text from LWN's bank asking me to confirm that I really wanted to spend over $2000 in a Minnesota shoe store. It turns out that it really was the bank, though. People who know me know that shoes are not one of my bigger budget items ... so, once again, somebody has leaked my card information.
Thus begins the whole process of disputing the charges, getting a new card, updating the recurring charges before things start bouncing, etc. Just what I was planning to do this day.

@corbet Sorry to hear that, Jonathan. I've been through that a few times myself, and especially with a business card it's hard. May I suggest trying to use something like privacy.com to make merchant locked virtual cards (or ramp may be a better fit for the business) as that has been a life saver in the past for me.

siim@social.osur.ee@corbet bank doesnt implement id checking for purchases on cards? Ove here(Estonia), every time you make an online payment you need to identify yourself through the banks system. Meaning that even if it does go walking, it’s not too simple to go on a spending spree.
