PSA: Possible breach of online store payment provider infrastructure siphoning off credit card details.
A few hours ago someone tried a test transaction with my card details, to a totally bogus site. I know this transaction was fraud and the card is now blocked.
I purchase quite a lot online with this card, but unless they waited many days, my suspicion goes to an online store I used six hours before: Switchbot, the IoT company. They have card payments (which I used) as well as Paypal, Klarna etc. Switchbot themselves are of course a perfectly legit company, but those credit card transactions don't clear through either US or European infrastructure.
Note: I don't _know_ the Switchbot transaction to be the one that leaked the details. This PSA is meant to connect the dots if others are identified too.
