One of my wife's credit cards she used in the Caribbean was hacked the day after she used it.

St. Maarten, which was hit hard during the hurricane. Everyone was thanking us for visiting because they really need tourism to come back.

Does not surprise me at all.

not sure why everyone was in such a fire hurry to get the chipped credit cards, don't seem to have slowed down the theft -- nm - Epiphany Jan 30, 19:05 6
- Cause they would be financially responsible -- nm - JD Jan 30, 19:44
- Citi-Amex still hadn't switched last time they renewed my card. Said it would likely happen next time...in 2020. -- nm - Meg Jan 30, 19:14 2
  - wow. I have no chipless cards. -- nm - windows jones Jan 30, 19:15 1
    - Yup, and the Amex is the one I use most so I always forget when I have to use one of the others. -- nm - Meg Jan 30, 19:34
- and by 'hurry' you mean like 10 years after everyone else. I'm pretty sure my first chipped card was about 2005, and even that lagged behind Europe. -- nm - mafic Jan 30, 19:10 1
  - heh - yeah. We ( the US) can't get our financial act together. -- nm - Epiphany Jan 30, 19:11
