Apparently Ticketmaster have been hacked. No details from them yet (it's all over the news though). Isn't Notts ticket site run by Ticketmaster? And I would imagine loads of us have got tickets for other things through Ticketmaster.
Just be aware folks....
This website is pretty handy for checking whether your data has been compromised:

I've entered a fake email address, says I've been Pwned whatever that is
it tells you to subscribe for more info !!! perhaps, maybe they just want your cash !?Quote:

I had used the card for the purchase of tickets and coach the Notts site. Not sure if the Football Assoc still use Ticketmaster.
I expressed concern that the hierarchy had not informed their staff nor their customers. Ticketmaster have nothing on their website.
I've got a couple of utility bills to pay and then I think I'll get new cards. No longer trust "the powers that be" to put customers' interests first despite "Your security is important to us".
There's some information here which 'may' be helpful...Quote:

I don't think it should be left for the BBC to advise what potentially affected card holders should do. No doubt credit card companies cannot handle re-issuing all their cards in one go so they are just hoping for the best.Quote:

It is more likely they have your name and address (that's on the electoral roll anyway) and part of your credit card number. They won't be stealing your card, but you're more at risk of scammers attempting something in the future, but with a data set of half a billion ( or around 8% of the entire world population) I think you'll be fine
