Unauthorized payment card appears in safari autofill

Hi. Several weeks back an authorized (China UnionPay) payment card appeared in my Safari's autofill listing. I've never had such a card, let alone entered related information into my browser or Apple devices. I have an Amex card, and have read about an Amex partnership with Unionpay but this type of thing would fall outside it's scope.
Since then, I removed the Unionpay card from my account, deleting other autofill information in the process. This past week gmail flagged suspicsious activity prompting me to change my passwords and add an antivirus, however I'm concerned that I may miss something or do things out of order and again be at risk.
I've read online tips on detection and prevention but have found nothing that speaks to this situation. Is my concern justified? How far must I go to cleaning my system? Please help.
Thanks,
Concerned and potentially hacked.

Is this an isolated attempt to sign into your account.   If it continues you may feel finding an alternative to gmail easier to cope with.   As I don't use the service (or trust Google) I am not acquainted with the way they do things ... but it looks fairly authentic.

How do you stop unauthorized cookies from appearing in Safari?

Hi ,
I'm using Safari 5.1.10 and system 10.6.8. I've gotten all the security downloads available, but I seem to having issues with unauthorized cookies appearing. These seem to appear even though I've not visited their websites, and have Safari set to accept cookies from only sites I've visited.
After going to Preferences:Privacy: remove all website data: then remove all cookies,
If I just wait a few minutes, I get 72 website cookies restored to my computer, without doing anything. These include cookies from google, alibaba, 2mdn.net, facebook, microsoft, oracle and many more. Some of these declare they are using local storage, others the catch, while others just declare themselves as cookies.
These appear in spite of the fact that I have the preferences set to block cookies from third party advertizers, set Extensions to OFF, but have Javascript enabled, and allow Java, but deny all other plug-ins.
If I unclick the allow Java button in Preferences:security, then 11 of these cookies sneek back in, but the others seem to be blocked. Those that come back include Alibaba, apple, google-analytics, "local documents on my computer", machine-seeker, wikipedia, and a few others.
If I disable JavaScript in Preferences:Security, now I get only cookies from sites I've visited, as I'm supposed to, according to the settings in my Safari preferences.
So it seems that some unscrupulous information collectors are collecting data even when the Safari settings should prohibit it. Unfortunately, some of the sites I visit ( Like Apple support communities) require that Javascript be enabled, so I don't know how to stop this.
The problem is that I've found these unwarrented cookies appear to slow down my internet connection speeds by ~ 95% ( Try removing them and disabling Javascript to see what happens) in addition to it being an invasion of my privacy. In addition, it really bothers me that some of these sites are storing local documents on my computer without permission.
As I've said, I've already installed ALL the pertinent security updates. Does anybody have any idea how to stop this from happening? I presume this is also happening on my iphone and ipad as well, but haven't checked.
I see that Safari was sued by Apple in 2012 for doing just this same thing, but they appear to be up to their old tricks, as well as many other companies.
Thanks

Hi,
I've investigated this phenomena of UNauthorized Cookies a bit more in the past few days and found their cause and uses goes very deep down the internet rabbit hole. While most browsers allow the user to delete cookies, or to block cookies from third parties, third parties may place cookies or "cookie equivalents" on your computer through a large variety of back doors. The most pernicious type of such cookie is euphemistically called a "Zombie Cookie" or a "supercookie".
These may reside in a number of places either in your own computer or remotely on the web. Deleting zombie cookies or supercookies is generally ineffective, because they are reinstalled in your browser, or worse, just exchange information with your browser withouth leaving a trail of cookie crumbs, the next time you get online. Some of these zombie cookies are not browser specific, so they can be accessed through all browsers on your computer.
The reason that you may never have heard of supercookies, and the reason they are so hard to find and get rid of, is that their deployment is deliberately sneaky and designed to evade detection and deletion. This means that most people who think they have cleared their computers of tracking objects have likely not. The European Union has recently taken action to make illegal the emplacement of "non-essential" cookies on your computer, but the United States, being less concerned about your personal privacy, and more concerned about making it easy for companies (and the government) to eavesdrop, has not.
The following is a list ( probably incomplete) where zombie cookies may be hiding on your computer:
Standard HTTP cookies
Storing cookies in and reading out web history
Storing cookies in HTTP ETags
Internet Explorer userData storage (starting IE9, userData is no longer supported)
HTML5 Session Storage
HTML5 Local Storage
HTML5 Global Storage
HTML5 Database Storage via SQLite
Storing cookies in RGB values of auto-generated, force-cached PNGs using HTML5 Canvas tag to read pixels (cookies) back out
Local Shared Objects
Silverlight Isolated Storage
Cookie syncing scripts that function as a cache cookie and respawn the MUID cookie[4]
If a user is not able to remove the cookie from every one of these data stores then the cookie will be recreated to all of these stores on the next visit to the site that uses that particular cookie, or in some cases, just the next visit to the internet, even though you may have barred 3rd party cookies from being emplaced in your browser. Every company has their own implementation of zombie cookies and most are kept proprietary, although an open-source implementation of zombie cookies, called Evercookie,[5] is available and commonly used.
One such common type of supercookie is called Local shared objects (LSOs), or more commonly Flash cookies (due to their similarities with HTTP cookies), are pieces of data that websites which use Adobe Flash may store on a user's computer. Local shared objects are used by all versions of Adobe Flash Player and version 6 and above of Macromedia's now-obsolete Flash Player.[1]
It is possible to see who is using Flash cookies on your computer, (and remove them) by going to the adobe website storage settings panel : (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_man ager07.html). This takes you to a settings manager figure. This Settings Manager figure that you see on this page is not an image; it is the actual Settings Manager for your computer. Click the tabs to see different panels, and click the options in the panels to change your Adobe Flash Player settings.
So far, I have not been able to find a method of removing or inhibiting zombie cookies that use HTML5 local or global storage locations. Some browsers may provide such power, but Apple Safari apparently does not.
For more information on supercookies see:
https://www.bestvpn.com/blog/8177/super-cookies-flash-cookies/
There are some ways to reduce your load of unwanted cookies and local storage type cookies using extensions such as AdBlock or Disconnect, But I've tried some of these and it doesn't seem to stop very many of them, even though the Disconnect extension is said to block over 2000 of these types of cookies.
For those who are trying to ride under the radar by using some of these extensions or software blockers, be aware that use of these may actually make you more visible because of browser fingerprinting. Whenever you visit a website your browser sends data to the server hosting that site. This data includes basic information, including the browser name, operating system, and exact version number of the browser. This information is known as passive browser fingerprint because it happens automatically. However websites when blocked, can also easily install other types of scripts that ask for additional information, such as a list of all installed fonts and plugins, supported data types (so-called MIME types), screen resolution, system colors and much more. Because this information has to be solicited from your browser, it is known as active fingerprinting. Taken altogether, the various fingerprint attributes can be almost instantly (it takes just a few milliseconds to run algorithms that compare millions of fingerprints) combined to create a unique fingerprint that can be used to very accurately identify an individual user, no matter if cookies have been deleted or IP address changed between website visits.
For an article on browser fingerprinting, See : https://www.bestvpn.com/blog/8159/browsers-fingerprint-reduce/
The bottom line is that if you use the internet, your browser history is being tracked by a myriad of companies and government agents, and it is likely not possible to stop this. For those who work in science, industry or government and are working on sensitive topics or novel product development that another company or government may find interesting, there appears to be many ways to recreate what you are working on by studying your browser history, or installing worms to view exactly what you are writing or reading. It came as somewhat of a shock to me to see just how pervasive internet spying has become, and it's not just malicious or destrustive agents who are doing so. Google didn't become a $350 billion company by simply bringing nice toys to us to play with. The real value of the internet comes from the trade and sale of secretly obtained personal information from you and I and everyone else, and its sale to all who will pay for it.

Safari 5.0.6 and payment cards

Is there a problem with Safari 5.0.6 and the authorisation of credit and debit cards?
I wasted hours last night trying to book trains through the Eurostar web-site and car hire with Hertz.
I got right through to the payment card verification process then either got an error message or the page simply went blank.
I eventually got up this morning and booked them both successfully using Firefox 16.0.2.
I hope that I do not now have reservations for the whole train and a fleet of hire cars.
C.W.

I have an iBook G4 still running v10.4 Tiger but it won't let me do much on Safari anymore.
Sorry to say this, but there's not much you can do to upgrade a ten year old Mac

Approved order with payment card - still appears in VKM3

I have the following scenario in ECC 5.0 -
1) We enter a sales order with payment card. For some reason, the authorization fails. The order goes on a credit block.
2) As a result, it appears in VCC1 and VKM3 lists.
3) Later, if the order is changed and the correct credit card details are entered and it is re-authorized (this time, successfully). The order status gets changed. It is released, delivered and billed.
However, it continues to appear in the VKM3 list of blocked documents.
Has anyone encountered similar issues? Please advice.
Thanks!

Hi,
the sales document should not appear anymore in transaction VKM1 or VCC1 after it was authorized (and is not blocked again). If it still appears in VKM1 or VCC1 it is not correct.
VKM3 shows all document independant from the credit status.
Best regards, Baerbel

HT204053 Account payment card details

how i can cancel the payment card details ? while i'm reviewe the appale ID

You can log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View My Apple ID menu option at the top of iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on a PC then Alt-S should get the Store menu to appear) - that should then take you to a screen where you can go to your payment details

Change to payment card not saved

I changed the credit card used to pay for my subscription on 20 July from Visa to Amex, but my subscription renewed on 23 July against the Visa. I have a £1 authorisation from "Ayden UK Ltd" showing on my Amex on 20 July so I know the details were accepted. I only noticed this today, so I've changed the payment card again this morning, and although the update appears to be successful (and I get another £1 authorisation on my Amex), when I go back to the Subscription page in my account the Visa details still show. Is there a problem with updating payment details at the moment?

Hey if you have a case open via our contact form then our teams can help resolve this one for you. We can't do this on the Community as we need to confirm confidential payment detais. You'll hear from them shortly, thanks!

The payment card you entered is not valid in Philippines.

Hello.
iTunes won't let me purchase any apps because this error keeps appearing.
"The payment card you entered is not valid in Philippines. Please provide a valid payment card for Philippines."
I was trying to purchase an app when iTunes notified me that the debit card that I was using was about to expire so I made changes about the expiry date and such, but to no avail, it keeps on nagging me.
The debit card that I am using is my dad's and he is currently in the US, I was assuming I only have to change my billing info into his current address. It still doesn't work. I also tried changing my region from the Philippines to the US but none of it work.
My last purchase was on the 30th of June and I think a few days prior to that was when iTunes Philippines was established. I don't know if this is a relevant information but I will appreciate any help.
I'm at wits' end. I badly needed to buy this app!
Help!

This may seem a little late but I finally made it work!
I changed my region from the Philippines to the United States then iTunes prompted me to 'create' an Apple ID so I did and entered my information in the required fields. Hopefully now, everything is beautiful and nothing hurt.
@varjak paw:
Thanks for trying to help, though. I really appreciate it.

Issue with part delivery of orders containing payment card lines

We have a problem with part deliveries of orders containing payment card authorizations.
Our customers can buy items in our webshop paying with credit cards. The webshop is connected to our payment service provider who authorizes the complete amount of each order. The order data including authorization data is transferred from the webshop to our SAP ERP (ECC 5.0), where order documents are created, delivered and billed.
For example, an order was created with 3 items:
A for 5 u20AC
B for 10 u20AC
C for 20 u20AC
For now, we create 3 payment card authorization lines according to those items.
Line 1 5 u20AC
Line 2 10 u20AC
Line 3 20 u20AC
Item C is temporarily not available, item A and B can be delivered and billed. The system now takes authorization line 3 (as 5 u20AC + 10 u20AC = 15 u20AC < 20 u20AC) for the first billing. The authorized amount of this line is completely consumed.
When item C becomes available and is delivered and billed, the creation of the FI-document fails because there isn't enough authorization amount left.
The creation of 3 payment card authorization lines is not mandatory for our business, creating one line for the complete amount would be as fine. But how can we avoid the complete comsumption of the authorization line then? Or do you have any other suggestions / best practices how to deal with part deliveries of orders containing payment card authorizations?
Regards.
Hilka Kaminski-Nieswandt
Sabrina Förster

Hello fridaynights,
It would be worrisome to receive an email notification that we were unable to authorize your payment method, especially if the payment method appears to be fine on your end.
Generally speaking, when items ship separately from one order, we will authorize the full amount of the order when the order is placed. Authorizations may expire after a few business days, but as items ship individually, your card would be authorized and charged for the individual shipments.
Using the email address you registered with the forum, I was able to locate your order with the canceled amiibos. It would appear that we were unsuccessful in authorizing funds on the card on multiple occasions, and so the remaining amiibos were canceled. I apologize for any trouble or displeasure that this cancelation may cause you. I would encourage you to keep an eye on these amiibos on BestBuy.com for changes in their availability.
As it seems there was an issue with your My Best Buy MasterCard, I would encourage you to contact Citibank, the issuer of your My Best Buy MasterCard account, at 1-888-574-1301 for further inquiries into this authorization issue.
If you should need further assistance, please let me know.

X40 and 1802 error: Unauthorized network card is plugged in

Hi,
I have an X40 with his original wifi card. After some bios upgrade, this error starting appearing:
1802: Unauthorized network card is plugged in - Power off and remove the miniPCI network card.
How can I solve this issue? Maybe downgrading the BIOS?
Many thanks
Oliver

This is ridiculous!
My X40 is original and I am getting this error message since today!! Unauthorized mini pci? Unauthorized by whom?! Does this mean that they took this card of the authorized list? I think that this is an issue that IBM/Lenovo should fix and not have us go through some dangerous BIOS process that might screw up the computer.
Looking at the thread this has been going on for a while...without any solutions coming from Lenovo. This is, for me, a BIG dent in my trust in Lenovo support.....will support continue to decrease since Lenovo took over?

1802 unauthorized network card - but FRU is listed in the Hardware Maintenance Manual

I have an x130e (0622-23U) and wanted to update my wireless card. I looked up the compatible cards in the Hardware Maintenance Manual. It listed several, including FRU 60Y3241, Intel Centrino Wireness-N 1000. I bought a card matching this description on Ebay. It arrived and is labeled as advertised. It shows Model: 112BNHMW.
When I installed it and rebooted, I get the BIOS error 1802: Unauthorized network card is plugged in.
Did I buy a brick from from Ebay? (Wouldn't be the first time.) Or is there something else that I should be looking for when I shop for a compatible wireless card?
Thanks,
Solved!

Good evening.
One detail that *may* explain why you're getting the 1802 error with a card that is listed in the HMM and presumably has a legit FRU label:
On page 85 of your HMM ( http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/x130e_hmm_en_0a96359_03.pdf ), item 15 is the WLAN adapter. The first grouping of MTMs includes your 0622-23U (denoted as 0622-23x). For that group, the listed FRU P/Ns are: 60Y3247 and 60Y3249. The remaining 4 groupings of MTMs do not specifically include yours. The 60Y3241 FRU is specified for 2338, 2339 and 2340 machines.
Just a hypothesis.
Regards.
Edit to add: Digging a little deeper, specifically, looking at the readme file for the BIOS update in the driver listings, it appears that there are different BIOS versions for different MTM families (23xx vs 06xx, generally) - "8Q" and "8R" prefixed. So it's not impossible that the BIOS whitelists also differ. Just an observation.

I changed my appleID password and now it's blocked my payment card

I've changed my AppleID password in the "settings" "itunes and app store". Everything was okay, exept my payment card. It was declined! I've put money there, but it didn't work! Please help!

Hi,
I tried to log in to iCloud but a message appears telling me I "can't sign in because my account was disabled for security reasons....reset password at iforgot.apple.com". I don't know why this happened.
I reset both my Apple ID and password.
When I tap Settings iCloud is listed on the left side between General and Mail, Contacts etc.
Tapping iCloud brings up a log in screen for iCloud which shows my old Apple ID and requests the password. If I put the password in I get the message as above.
If I use the new Apple ID/Password I get the message "the maximum number of free accounts have been activated....
In settings there is no option to "Delete Account"
Any suggestions??

I tried downloading an app as per usual and the message 'There is a billing problem with a previous purchase. Please update your payment info' appeared. Everything in regards to my payment info is correct. What's going on? Help me!

Is there any sort of error message on the payment details screen on your account ? If not then if you enter your card's security code does that trigger an error message ?

Mastercard secure code / verified by visa iframe never appears on Safari

Hi, I'm looking for an answer to a problem with the verified by visa / mastercard secure code iframe when payments are submitted via Safari (for any transactional website). The iframe just doesn't come up on the website on Safari, but comes up fine on IE, Chrome, Firefox. The browser seems to goto the authenticate.com action but never returns the iframe for the password entry. The behaviour remains same in both Windows and Mac platforms. Anyone have any views on problems faced in the past and tweaks / solutions that can help with this ?

Make sure your system software is up to date.
Click the Apple  menu (top left in your screen) then click: Software Update ...
Safari / Preferences - Autofill. Click the Edit button next to: Other forms. Click: Remove All / Done.
Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari.
Try disabling plugins... Safari / Preferences - Security. Quit then relaunch Safari. See if that makes a difference. If it does, troubleshooting help http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3230?viewlocale=en_US
