I got a call from a very good scammer last night. He knew my name and my bank. Caller ID was my bank's number. Said there had been suspicious activity on my account. Listed 2 large transactions that I hadn't made. Said they would cancel my card and reissue a new one.
Until then it all sounded legit. Then he asked for the last 8 digits of my credit card.
I said I would call the bank directly. Sure enough, scam.
Turns out a relative fell for the same one last month.

"Scammers Target Desperate EV Drivers with Fraudulent QR Codes
Fake QR codes direct EV drivers to a malicious site when all they want is to charge their car."
by Dan Carney, Senior Editor
September 9, 2024
"[S]cammers are replacing the EV charging networks’ QR codes with their own, directing these unsuspecting victims to their own malicious site. Once there, drivers enter their credit card information in a bid to pay for a charge, only to have the scammers steal that information for misuse.
...
'Quishing, or QR phishing, is a cybersecurity threat in which attackers use QR codes to redirect victims to malicious websites or prompt them to download harmful content,' explains security specialist company Cloudflare."
@UP8 So if the banks fixed this digital wallet loophole, why has my local bar decided to refuse digital wallet transactions? They're reporting massive use of stolen cards being used with digital wallets. Did the banks just fix their apps and expect criminals to update their local copy? 😒

"The attacker, masquerading as the hotel, reaches out to the customer through the booking site, urging the customer to “re-confirm their credit card,” then steals the customer’s information."
This is an interesting attack scenario. PCI DSS 4.0 is going to improve internet fraud prevention requirements but it does not really have much to prevent against this sort of scenario.

I had a subscription renew yesterday. The fraud department at my credit union had a conniption. They contacted me by text, but I did not notice until this morning. Then they tried to call twice during my walk, but of course that was NO FUCKING CALLER ID!
When I got back from my walk, I checked the text, then checked my account, saw that it was fine, and texted back that nobody was defrauding me.

I know @haveibeenpwned provide a fantastic website for checking email addresses but, is there anywhere that does something similar for credit cards? I have now had fraudulent transactions on my credit card account for the 2nd time in 9 months. 1st card had been stopped and new card with different number issued. Now it also has fraudulent transactions. I'd like to investigate this in more detail.
