Thanks, I was thankfully canceled my card. Is there anyone else here that has had their card compromised?

I haven't had anything odd yet.

Ironically, Chase did flag my DigitalOcean charges last week.

Chase notified that a 3rd party was breached and my credit card was at risk. They sent me a new card two weeks ago. Figured it was because of linode.

Funny, that's about when I cancelled my Chase card. When they asked why I told them an internet company I do business with had been compromised. I have a monthly charge from Linode on the card.

A few months ago I had some trouble with BofA flagging my card for "suspicious activity." I had to go in and get a new card twice over two months. The only change I can think of is that I switched hosting to DigitalOcean.

I had been thinking of switching banks for awhile, but this ended up being the biggest motivator to finally pull the trigger.

My Chase cards seem to get compromised somewhat regularly but it's never been an issue. I get a robocall that asks me to press 1 if fraudulent, 2 if legit. Obviously I indicated that the DigitalOcean charge was fine.

Whenever I've had an actual fraudulent charge, Chase has just overnighted me a replacement card, both with my business and personal cards. They've got wonderful customer service.

I have seen a $780 purchase in one of my card (which is only used online in App Store, PayPal, Amazon and Linode) on April 27th. I dispute the purchase and request reissue of the card immediately. Since I also use this card physically few times (all before Linode incident) I wouldn't say for sure that Linode was responsible. (I'm not located in US but the purchase was from online store in US, I suspect it might be compromised online by some means.)

I had some issues with a card several months ago that was used for very few things, including Linode. Security on one of the other services I used was actually pretty bad, rather than inadvertently bad: they resent me my own password, and I canceled immediately, so it may not have been Linode, but it's impossible to say.

The card I used for Linode was used for fraudulent online purchases on May 13. However, I also used the credit card at many other places besides Linode, so I'm not certain that Linode was responsible.

Haven't seen any fraudulent charges on my card yet. I only have like 3 different monthly charges that go to that card so they'll be easy to spot and to contest if I need.

I have not noticed any odd activity. My card has been with Linode for years.

Yes, ours was used fraudulently the week before the breach was announced.
