O/T - Ticketmaster Data Breach

[Ericsladkilnhurst]

Paying with a credit card, the bank will pick the bill up if over £100 if card picked up, you are giving name admitted, but not debit savings accounts.
Any money coming out of our accounts, needs my banks to ask me to verify, before this happens different passwords used.

You’ve got some decent protection there is terms of fraud protection on the card. However, that’s not the entire problem. The hackers steal the entire data set - that would include name, address, card details used to make the payment, sort code and account number (if paying by direct debit) and date of birth. This can then be sold on to others who may attempt to apply for fraudulent credit type arrangements (loans, new credit cards, etc) using your details. That’s where the big money can be made and it can be a very painful experience for the individual to go through. Most will eventually get their credit file reset and will not suffer long term financial harm but it can be a really inconvenient situation in the short term.

Plus part of my protection, is they have to contact me by my phone, for me to confirm any transaction.

You are spreading nonsense. As I said, when you paid (unless you paid cash) you provided your card detail to RUFC and that was captured and retain by the Ticketmaster system. That counts if you paid in full or monthly direct debit. That data is then stored in the very same back end data base owned by Ticketmaster as my data that I did online. So when any hacker gains access to the system they would take the lot - irrespective of point of entry.

So - perhaps you should grow up and stop spouting on here as if you are some sort of authority on cyber security. That’s weird. Perhaps a symptom of spending too much time online.

What part don’t you get? I have never given the club my personal BANK account details, I always pay by Mastercard. Therefore, they have no access to my BANK savings account.

Moreover and like ELK, my bank notifies me automatically if anything over £50 is used on my CREDIT card. IF anyone attempted to max out my CREDIT card, there is a two step process they have to go through first of which they need a password which they won’t know so whose talking bull once again?

As for’scaring’ folk, well done you’ve done a great job.

Ok mate - you clearly don’t get it. You’re just an armchair expert in everything it seems. Do you not think your Mastercard data is exactly what they are after?

Police phoned me one day saying to contact my bank saying my card had been compromised,during an investigation they were undergoing.
It was from a petrol station on Fitzwilliam road.
I only use cash at petrol places now.

Was that recently? That happened to me ages ago, some petrol stations were run by Tamils, they were stealing the money for the Tamil Tigers, but that war ended in 2009.

You're right, if you paid by credit card it's worse than if you set up a direct direct.

If you've never ordered anything and more important, never received said goods then, Section 75 is your safeguard. Happened to my Good Lady twice, one for £800 spent in Legoland of all places, lord knows what they spent it on!

Second time it was approx 8.00am am on a Sunday morning. Phone rings it's her credit card provider asking if she's just spent £1 on petrol way darn sarf. Obviously not as we still in bed. She was informed that's how they test a cloned card. The CC company had put an automatic block on it as it was a new card and she had not yet used it. Suffice to say she cancelled her cards down and moved banks, Halifax by the way who she left.

Touch wood that was many years ago but it's still out there.

Wife got a Halifax credit card some years ago, used it once in Meadowhall.
Next minute a holiday car insurance + other things cloned the card at meadowhall, card was used to its maximum.
Halifax investigators sorted it out, wife cut card up, never had one since.
