SDE - payment issues? (excised from Who's Next announcement thread)

[stoopid]

I've just been reading this thread with interest. My credit card has been hacked twice in the last 6 months. I've been going through where this might have come from. I have up to date protection on all my devices. I have placed a lot of orders with SDE this year, I always use a credit card, rather than Paypal. Coincidence . I'm not sure now. Do I risk ordering the new Ferry, I'm not sure now.

On a lot of sites you can select the Paypal option and enter a credit card there, without even needing to signup for a Paypal account. If purchasing from SDE, using Paypal seems like an obvious necessity at this point.

Use paypal and you can't go wrong

I just got notified today my credit card got hacked with two fraudulent charges and Im getting a new one sent to me.

First time in several years this has happened to me.
And for the first time in months I made an SDE purchase for the Elton bluray on the 16th.
I cant help but think my purchase on SDE is related to this happening.....

I will have to learn how to use paypal for any further purchases on SDE. We have no way of knowing outside of QQ how many others may have experienced hacks making these purchases.

As a precaution I am cancelling all of Gos's credit cards too

Be aware he always gets at least two of everything.

Thanks, I'll do that for SDE in future. I do have a paypal account, but the credit card linked to that is the compromised one that is now cut up and in the bin and awaiting a new one!

Just wanted to add a data point... I placed two orders in the past month (The Who and Elton) and have had no issues with fraudulent charges. The orders were placed with two different credit cards and I even went the extra mile for danger and ordered one over hotel wifi! For both orders, I used the credit card option on the SDE site and did not use the Shop or Paypal options. Will update the thread if anything pops up on my credit cards but nothing so far.

As a past "victim" using my debit card I can irrevocably say use I followed the advice here with PayPal and you're good to go.
