Couple of days ago I notice a weird charge on a credit card of mine that’s used to do two things: pay the phone bill, and pay the hosting bill. The charge in the statement has the name of the business, which happens to be the URL, to which I navigate only to find out that it’s a porn site selling subscriptions to its content (this should be the moment when the boss walks in). Since I didn’t remember buying any porn, it’s apparent that the card has been compromised.

AT&T now issued a release saying that the database with the details of its DSL customers has been compromised. I didn’t buy DSL from AT&T (or SBC, which it was called at that time) directly, I bought it from a reseller of theirs, but apparently sooner or later all credit cards meet in one happy place, which has been compromised since then.
