Says Brianna Reynaud, with Skype, “Our customer support team has taken a look and it appears to be credit card fraud.
They’re still going to check their customer service and security teams to see if there’s been an uptick in calls. Both said this is the first time they’ve heard about this. But I don’t ever remember getting notified about any breach, as a California law requires companies to do. I shop at all those stores and have a MasterCard. Is the Skype/PayPal charges related? Possibly. MasterCard said more than 40 million accounts had been breached. Perhaps the largest was back in June 2005. Maxx/Marshall’s, DSW Shoe Warehouse and even the one hosting state legislators’ paycheck data. Some have never even heard of Skype or PayPal.Ĭompanies whose computers have been hacked include T.J. I spotted an eBay message board where people getting charges and charge backs from an account listed as “Skype/PayPal.” And most mentioned that they aren’t Skype or PayPal users. We’re apparently not the only ones affected. The office manager didn’t even know what Skype was until I told her…. Not much to some, but if the perpetrator did this to, say, thousands and millions of people, this will add up nicely. But on the same bill, there were six credits of $32.84.
Then last week, two of the official company credit cards, which are used by pretty much no one, had the same suspicious charges. I canceled my card to be safe and didn’t think too much more about it. My credit-card company spotted it first and stopped all transactions. I discovered this charge on my own credit card in early May.
