I may have bought a thing or two there over the years.

Fraudulent charges to my credit card resulted from this hack.

Do you mind if I ask when? I had a card get fraudulently charged about 6 weeks ago or so. It’s the same one I always used at BHQ. I’ve been wondering since I got the email if that’s what happened.

Mine was used around 1/21/21. This is the 13th time for me since 2012. It is the one card I use for online shopping. Willing to bet that most if not all of the compromises like this occurred via a hacked vendor or card processor.
