At 6:55 PM, just under two hours ago, someone somehow tried to order an iPad from my BB account. Thankfully I have my big bucks in a separate account not linked to any card using a totally different password than anything else I use, so none of my money is going anywhere.

But still, what the crap. I better keep a close eye out to see if anything else gets bought. Changed a bunch of passwords just now.

So this charge popped up on my credit card:

APL* ITUNES.COM/BILL 866-712-7753 CA

I googled it and it looks like it's part of a huge fraud deal, plus there's some other charges that I sure as heck didn't make.

What do, guys?

Change your password to something crazy long and hard.

That's the plan. Unfortunately it's a small bank that's closed right now so I'm just trying to close everything up for the night. Gonna remove my card from everything and change my passwords to something completely new.

Man this sucks.

I have the dummy email of someone who tried to hack me. But they just added the number 2 to what is their actual email. Searching the actual email gives me quite a bit of info about them.

Now what to do.....
