Two credit cards compromised in quick succession

Two cards have been compromised in quick succession - they're only used online through MacBook and I can't identify any site which both cards were used on. Any guidance to check for a virus or similar or to stop happening again? Thanks

Re malware presumably all i'd need to have done though is inadvertently click on a dodgy link or download?
Not quite. Clicking a link is not sufficient to infect you at this time. You would have to first download something from a dodgy site, then open the downloaded file. However, for all known malware, that would still fail - Mac OS X would prevent the malicious file from opening. It is not outside the realms of possibility that you have been infected by something that is brand new and never before seen by the security community. However, this is pretty unlikely. The last new Mac malware that appeared did so back in February.
I was just wondering too whether access to my Wifi network (at home) could lead to someone obtaining card details when I entered them into a retailers site??
This is also unlikely. An insecure wifi network can be dangerous, but any site dealing with credit card details will use encryption to protect the data. That would prevent a snoop on the same network from being able to intercept a credit card number directly. Of course, that might make it possible for someone to intercept other data, which could give them access to some of your online accounts. That could indirectly expose your cards... for example, if someone managed to hack your Apple ID, they could use it to make purchases without actually having access to the credit card on your Apple ID account.
Note that the only way an insecure network is a danger is if someone malicious is within range and can connect to that network. If you live in a rural area, or even a suburban area where the houses aren't too close, you probably don't have anyone within signal range, so a hacker on your wifi network would be an almost impossible scenario.

  • HT201079 Purchase using two credit cards, different billing addresses.

    I made a purchase using two credit cards, one is mine and the other is my mother's. We each have different billing addresses, but it is all under my billing address. Is there going to be a problem with the order?

    For any order (free or paid), once it has been submitted and processed successfully, you may not need to worry about this order any more.
    If you worry about this, wait for the receipt sent to your email address.
    I don't use multiple credit card to make purchase so I cannot duplicate your issue. Sorry.

  • How do I get two credit cards associated with my apple account?

    Is there a way to associate two credit cards with one apple account?  I have a work ipad that is associated with my corporate card but would like to download some movies and such for personal use and would like to use my personal credit card.  If I can't do that, can I have two apple accounts and use them for the same device?

    Sorry but no; it's one credit card at a time. If you want to use two cards in a single account, you will have to change card information in your account every time you switch.
    But yes, you can have two different iTunes Store accounts and use content from both on your iPad and/or computers without problems.
    Regards.

    Is it possible to have two credit cards saved in iTunes account for app purchases?

    No, only one card can be linked to an account at a time, you can't have 2 cards stored on it.

  • How can i pay on the apple store online with two credit cards, with two different billing addresses

    I will be greatful if you could answer me this question...
    How can i pay on the apple store online with two credit cards, with two different billing addresses?
    I know that you can use two credit cards to pay an item but the problem is that i can only put the billing address of just one of the credit cards, and since the two cards are from different people (my parents) i can't do it. They live in the same place so i don't know if i should just put one of the billing address.
    Thank you.
    PS. I don't know if this is the right community to ask this, sorry if i'm wrong.

    On the Apple Store "Payment & Pricing" page it states:
    Using more than one payment card
    You can also combine payment methods to pay for your purchase. Choose from the following combinations of credit cards and Apple Gift Cards:
    Credit card(s) - up to two
    Apple Gift Card(s) - up to eight
    Apple Gift Card(s) + one credit card
    During checkout, if you are paying with a gift card issued by a credit card company, you can combine it with one credit card.

  • Education Payment With Two Credit Cards

    This is a bit of a doozy regarding paying for a new MacBook Pro.
    I applied for the Barclaycard with the special first Apple purchase financing deal and was accepted, however the card has a limit of $1,000. I'd love to buy a MacBook Pro, but even with education pricing the limit of the card is too low. So, I'm planning on buying the MacBook Pro using two credit cards: the first, a debit card to pay off the excess cash (over $1,000) and the second for the $950 or so leftover. Is this a viable payment option? Will I still get the financing deal? I didn't see it in the terms of service for the financing or anything.
    Thanks

    HI SiverSwordZero,
    This is a user to user forum. You should contact Apple directly with that question.
    Good Luck

  • Two credit cards

    Does the on-line Apple Store allow two credit cards to be stored?  I would like to store a business and a personal credit card so I can charge purchases to the appropriate card.

    I have only ever seen the option to store one card in my account information.

    To use the iTunes/Mac App Stores for a given nation you must be a legal resident of that nation, provide a credit card issued to you by a bank in that nation with a verifiable billing address in that nation.

  • I paid for download I already had and I was charge on two credit card

    I paid for download I already have and I was charge on two different credit card if u lost your music that u already paid for to u have to repay for them and the receipt I got this morning the music is not download in my phone

    Music can't be re-downloaded for free in all countries : what can be re-downloaded where. If you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded (re-downloading) and you've been charged again then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Are two credit cards from two countries possible on itunes?

    We travel between USA and Switzerland and have an address in each country. Would it be possible to for example add my Swiss credit card and not lose my USA access? I understand that I may have to switch stores.

    If you want to keep everything under one AppleID you could keep switching stores but you are only allowed to do that every 90 days.  You have to use a US card when logged into the US Store, the Swiss card when using the CH Store.
    I guess you could set up another AppleID and run a second country off that.  People manage media when using multiple AppleIDs within a family and I guess it wouldn't be any more of a nuisance.  I guess it depends upon how often you travel back and forth and balancing the hassle of changing countries vs. managing two AppleIDs.  Strictly speaking, according to the terms of use you are only supposed to use a country's store when physically present in the country.  In reality I have seen people say openly here they use their accounts from another country and long-term contributors here suggesting it and the posts were ignored by the Apple hosts (who normally take down anything in violation of Apple's terms of use) so go figure.

  • I was trying to post a message on Facebook on the wall but didn't know what to press so I tapped just outside the box and suddenly a number added itself to my message which I recognised as one of my credi cards which I quickly deleted.How could this happe

    I was trying to post a message on Facebook but didn't know what to press as I don't often use it, so I tapped edaround the message hoping this would work but what happened was that a line of numbers were added to th message which I recognised as one of my credit cards.As I have never bought any thing on Facebook and I try not to store my cards I quickly deleted the numbers from the message and finally posted my  message by pressing the return key on my Ipad. Can you tell me where my credit card number came from?

    The clipboard is a place in memory where text that has been copied from is temporarily stored ready to be pasted elsewhere.
    The clipboard cannot be viewed, and is essentially invisible to the user. Copied text will stay on the clipboard until it is replaced by the next piece of copied text.
    Probably what happened is you copied your credit card number from somewhere, either intentionally or accidentally (perhaps you made a purchase on your iPad using this card recently), and the clipboard stored the number. Then, whilst you were using Facebook you (accidentally) pasted this credit card number from the clipboard into your Facebook message.
    That's the only likely reason I can think of. Hope I explained it well enough!

  • Two credit cards aon one account

    I want to pay with two different credit cards from one account. one by business and one private. How to do this?

    Yes you can.
    Make the first payment  where it indiactes how much you wish to pay, enter in the amount.
    You might have to wait for the first pament to be processed and applied (about and hour) before you enter the second payment.
     I use my debit card to pay my half of the phone bill, and then my GF's card to pay the second half of my family plan.
    Hope this helps.

  • Make July's payment now with two credit cards

    Please charge $5.00 to VISA card # <snip - mod edit>
    Please charge $5.00 to VISA card #<snip - mod edit>
    For my July Spotify Premium payment (for July only). A new and permanent credit card will be assigned to my account exactly on 08/12/15 to prevent any further declined or NSF charges in the future. My funds were depleted by unexpected medical expenses in July. The new credit card that will be furnished to you on 08/12/15 will prevent any future problems.
    I hope this one-time payment situation with the above information will suffice until I can promptly supply you with a permanent card on 08/12/15.
    I deeply appreciate your understanding as I DO DESIRE to maintain my Spotify Premium account.
    Thank you,

  • Can I store two credit cards on my iTunes account?

    Is it possible to have two separate creditcard/billing details attached to the same account?
    I'd like to separate my business transactions from my personal transactions.
    However, I don't want o have to login to separate accounts each time I download app updates, etc.
    Amazon lets me do it, so I don't see why iTunes/Apple shouldn't...
    Thanks,
    ys
