Credit card hacked, thru Safari?

Greetings. Recently my credit card was hacked for plane tickets on an airline that doesn't fly to or from the U.S. where I live. I'm guessing it was somehow taken when I used my credit card for whatever reason on my Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard.
I'm wondering what I can do to stop this from happening again. Is it possible there is something on my computer that is allowing someone to see when I use my credit card online? I've never had something like this happen so I'm really just grasping at straws for any way to protect myself. Thanks for any help.

Has FoxFith says the card could have been compromised many ways, have you reasons to suspect the MacBook. The MacBook could be the weak point if you have been using software with known vulnerabilities but unless you have good reason to suspect it the problem is probably elsewhere.
if you know the MacBook is definitely the problem, like any other operating system the only sure way is a software reload from known clean sources and a clean formatted hard disk drive to start with.
if you go down this route make sure you have known tested backups of your user data and reliable sources for the OS and software.
Edit. Just noticed your second post, just because the card was compromised in the US does not mean that data would be used there, it could have been sold to anywhere in the world.
hope you get it sorted, not a nice thing to happen to anyone.

Credit card hacked thru iTunes?

I have a credit card that wasn't stolen, and has no balance on it. However, the day after I made an iTunes purchase for $1 (I bought one song), someone tried to charge $2,700 on my card. My credit card company called me to ask if I authorized that charge (I didn't even know about it) and consequently that card has been closed.
Coincidence?
Is there any way that credit card information, which I typed into iTunes store the day I bought that song and the day before the fraudulent charge, could have been hacked?

I'm on here trying to find out if I can track who's account those songs went to. Anybody have any tips?
There's no way you're going to be able to do that yourself. You'll need to have your credit card company's security division get in touch with Apple; the CC company and law enforcement officials are the only ones to whom Apple would release any such account information (and then perhaps only with a court order).
Strange that both of you have had the same amount - $2700.00 - illegally charged.

There are deadlines but you can open a Dispute about a transaction with eBay for 45 days.The Resolution Centre is at the bottom of this page. Your credit card information cannot be accessed if you paid by Paypal. They anonymize your financial information.However, you can open a Dispute about a transaction with Paypal through their Resolution Centre on the left side of your account page. If you believe your credit card has been stolen or otherwise compromised, call the 1-800 number on the back of the card. Explain your problem to the clerk. She will cancel your card and issue a new one.It is possible that she can reverse fraudulent charges to the compromised card. Since English is not your first language, it might be helpful to ask a friend to read and translate any information. And whatever you are buying, stop.

New credit card hacked on macbook

think i have a virus
new credit card hacked

You're account having been hacked is not in anyway related to a computer virus.
If you have not already done so, change your Apple ID password > Apple ID: Changing your password
Contact your bank to report any unauthorized transactions.
For the time being, change your payment method to None > Mac App Store: Changing your account information
Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?

Anyone's credit card hacked in Apple Store 6/24/10 purchasing iPhone4?

Anyone have this issue? Today I picked up my iPhone 4 at Upper West Side Store in NYC. A few hours later I received 5 fraudulent charges for songs and albums on iTunes, iTune receipts sent on my email. This is the first time my credit card has been compromised. How could that be? My credit card was swiped in front of me for my legitimate charges. How was security breached?

This just happened to me with my 3GS iPhine on 6/24/2010. Three charges, each for the same amount, all just under $740.00 each on the same day. Thankfully, my credit card company was very good, unlike Apple, and got a hold of me on the same day to verify. Apple was no help and even claimed my card was not charges and canceled the card. Now I load an iTunes card on my account so if this happens again, and I hear it has happened a lot, again, with no help for Apple, the thieves won't get much. Apple needs to take responsibility for security of its online customers.

My credit card went thru every month and no wits not opening lightroom ....

this is baddsd

what's the problem?

Down loaded Itunes and got my credit card hacked anyone else have that problem?

It would appear from my research that a lot of people are having money stolen from them when they purchase items from ITunes stores has anyone else experienced this problem and if so what if anything is Apple doing about it. I got ripped off for $70.00 over the weekend.

HT5278 If ios 5.1.1 on iPad 1 is no longer supported, is the device safe to use for credit card payments?

Hi All, anyone, or just helpful users,
If ios 5.1.1 on iPad 1 is no longer supported, is the device safe to use for credit card payments?
I know the reasons why Apple no longer update IOS for Ipad 1.
Due to end of life support, no bug fixes for older apps and constant vulnerabilities being exploited, does this now make the device insecure and vulnerable? either information stored on the device or (especially) when making credit card payments through Safari, etc.
Thanks in advance,

I would say your biggest issue isn't as much your operating system as it is the network you use your device on. For example the most secure device in the world can be used at McDonalds open wifi and have its info intercepted....and it's not your device's fault rather the connection. Any security program is only as good as its weakest component.
THe iOS operating systems are still very secure because they are highly resistent to viruses and malware....but a user can still click on that 'you won a million dollars' link in an e-mail and hand their personal info over to a hacker.
If you feel you can no longer trust it, then stop using it. But I would say a user's internet connection and behavior are larger security vulnerabilities than any device.

When will you fix the "can not updating credit card" issue??

I've got my credit card hacked 2 weeks ago so my bank gave a new one with new number. Adobe charged my monthly payment on the 8th and haven't been able to do that because I CAN NOT UPDATE MY CREDIT CARD NUMBER. I've tried for days. I've asked online chat and he/she only told me to clear cookies and use another browser. Done and done. But STILL can't do the updating. My Photoshop trial will last in 4 days. This is very frustrating. I've read loads of discussions dated since last year about this matter but apparently the issue still here. Anyone can help!?? -Thanks.

Hi YuliaY,
We are sorry for the inconvenience that it has caused to you, to update the credit card kindly contact us via: Contact Customer Care.

I cannot access online statements for my credit card account when using firefox, but have no problem when using safari.

When I attempted to check the monthly statement for my credit card account and clicked on "See statement", the next screen that appeared, which was labeled Online Statement", was blank. In the past, I have never had any problems with this. When I checked with the bank that issued the credit card, the representative I spoke with said that it was a browser issue and that, since I was working on a Mac, I should try using Safari. When I switched to Safari, I had no problem bringing up my statement. But I would prefer to be able to use Firefox to obtain information like this, since it's the browser I always use.

Can you upgrade your browser to Firefox 12 and check?

I have had 3 days worth of unauthorised purchases. How can I get my money back? I have changed my password again and I have disabled my credit card. My account is constantly getting hacked

I am sick of getting hacked..... This is the 3rd time my account has been hacked. This time it has only been for $30-40 but it is very alarming that it is getting hacked at all. I have changed my password agian to a random thing. Lets see how long I can stay hacked free this time. If this continues I may have to put a formal complaint in to Apple. And maybe only buy non-apple products....

It's most likely not you, no matter what they say. I have noticed a LOT of fraud with itunes, even with my own account. One time I caught them doing a database restore. I know this because my password automagically reverted back to an old one! I'm an IT guy who helped design DOD classified networks in the mid-pacific. I know security. The best protection for this is to NOT have a credit card listed in iTunes. Use iTunes cards ONLY. It's a pain, but until they step up, it's all you got.

How can I change my itunes password on my iphone? Someone has hacked my account and is charging my credit card hundreds of dollars. I even cancelled my card and got a new one and they still can access it.

Someone has hacked my itunes account and charged hundreds of dollars to my credit card. I have cancelled my card twice and they can still do it because I enter the new info into my phone. The credit card company said that I need to change my account password. Does anyone know how to change your password on an iphone?

I don't have an iPhone but it may be somewhere along the steps for removing card information

Credit card payment didn't go thru

Hi.
My credit card payment didn't go thru before. I have updated my credit card information, and now the card should be valid. How Do I make the payment?

Hi Foods,
Thank you for your message,
I went through your problem where the bank blocks the payment & that is the reason the payment has not gone through for CC.
As you were correct, you can buy CC for one year by paying once.
https://creative.adobe.com/join/annual_pmt
The existing CC can be canceled without any cancellation fee. You can mail me the existing as well as the new order number, I can get the old one canceled for you.
Hope it resolves the issue.

Hacked account - credit card charged

Why I get charged my credit card for skype id 44870835190, and I already sent this complain by email to day, I hope I get the correct answer for it.

For everyone interested how the situation ended here is a breakdown:
I was finally able to get through to someone in support using the ticket system. I was advised that my account has been locked until the situation is resolved and I was asked to reset my password using the standard online process. Since the hacker also changed my email address I was unable to do that which I mentioned back to the support. Because my identity was at that point confirmed I was advised to provide a new email address which is going to be used for password reset purposes. After I provided the new email I was able to reset the password and log into my account.
After loggin in I noticed that only 3 out of 11 bank transfers made bu the hacker were succesfull which was already good news. Additionally although the hacker was successfull in adding 50 pounds to my account he only spent around 0.4 pounds on calls and texts. I asked a refund for the transfers made by the hacker which Skype agreed to straight away.
All in all - it is a pain to get thorugh the Skype ticket system but if you are patient enough you can get some help.
