Capital One got cracked

#1 Post by 8Geee »

If you are a Capital One Credit Card Holder, be aware that today (July 29) it has been disclosed that in excess of 100 Million accts may have been breached.

I would strongly recommend a land-line call to Cap 1 having your CC number, and login password changed ASAP.

Is this the breach you are referencing? If so, it's Capital One that was breached, not CitiBank
