Hackers wont try to charge small dollar item.. I am willing to bet in this case its a couple insiders.

I always use a prepaid card for online purchases.

meh, their security certificate wasn't as good as other websites. easily loopholed.

My first three were for X-Box live but the last was some mail order computer.

Mine was hit with a $4 charge for iTunes. Bank shut down my acct immediately.

What prompted your bank to do that?

+1 same here a cheap prepaid cc for online stuff and I only fill it right before I make the purchase.

probably like when I bought a new car in Edmonton Canada in 08... while I was in Kuwait!
Fraud Department called me up
"Mr [Byte] have you authorized a vehicle purchase in Canada?"
"Umm, No."
"We are showing your account is being billed (I forget the number) For a motor Vehicle in Edmonton Canada."
"UMMM, hell no."
"Ok Mr [Byte], We will have to close your card and have another one reissued, due to your location you will receive in it a day or two"

US Bank had another one in my hand in 2 days.
the charge never hit my account

US Bank is the shit. I used to work for them in the 90's and while every bank has their issues US Bank seems to have the fewest of the big banks w/the best customer service.
