C.<p>So, three (3) months ago, I got an unexpected letter from my credit card company. They notified me that my account "may" [1] have been compromised, and that "out of an abundance of caution", they were preemptively cancelling my credit card, and issued me a new one (with a different account/card number).</p><p>I'd had that card for 20 years. Changing the info held on file at all kinds of online stores and other financial services and various other things took a fair bit of time, spread over a couple of months as I ran into places I'd set up with the old one. But more critically, remembering the *new* number, and getting it into muscle memory, also took quite a while - I had to keep double-checking every time I needed the number, up until about 2 weeks ago, when I started feeling confident I had memorized it correctly.</p><p>So today, I get essentially the same letter, and *another* new card/number... 😢 [2]</p><p>So I get to do the whole dance again! Here's an idea, but maybe make your systems more secure?</p><p>[1] weasel words<br>[2] in case you're curious, the new one starts with a digit</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/CreditCard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CreditCard</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/fraud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fraud</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/AbundanceOfCaution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AbundanceOfCaution</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/WeaselWords" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WeaselWords</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/weasel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>weasel</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/may" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>may</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/compromised" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>compromised</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>security</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/clueless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>clueless</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/YourPrivacyIsImportantToUs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>YourPrivacyIsImportantToUs</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/financial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>financial</span></a></p>
