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

[sjc]

I bought Who's Next over the weekend from SDE shop via credit card and today I got a call from my credit card company questioning a 900 pound charge. They cancelled my card and are sending me a new one. If it wasn't for this thread, I'd be going nuts running anti virus software on my PC. I'm in the US.......

Okay, this has gone far enough. A clear link has been established between card details entered at SDE and credit fraud. It genuinely appears as though the website has been compromised. @PaulatSDE: you really ought to issue a statement warning customers to use alternate payment methods (PayPal, Shop Pay) until this security vulnerability has been dealt with, and then deal with it.

I've made a couple of purchases from SDE recently without any issues. Credit card hacks happen frequently. SDE has tens thousands of customers and only a few have reported problems. With this information, no responsible person can reasonably claim that the issue is with SDE's website. Besides, at least one person has presented an already virtually impossible scenario linking the issue to SDE (the problem occurred despite using PayPal for payment).
