Chase cards seems susceptible to a lot of fraud.. My Ritz got hit 2 weeks ago also.  But they are very vigilant and will send you a new one quickly.

While that helps they don't need access to your cards or online account.  In some cases data is leaked at the source.  In some cases they're using a computer generated list and then testing out the list with small purchases until they find a card/CSC/expiry combo that works and then use that combo for larger transactions.

No need to worry over it.  You're protected.  Just monitor all of your accounts and take action when you spot fraud or receive a notification.

Again, as long as you can actively monitor them all for fraud.  If not, you might want to pare it down.

I feel for you... when I had a bogus charge on one of my cards, it was promptly dealt with but I almost drove myself mad changing passwords on every online account I have.  I know which online account was hacked, but that almost made it worse since I didn't know if it was a problem with the security of the website, or if my own computer had been compromised.  It did drive me to completely update *everything* and start using a VPN away from home, so I guess in the end it was (strangely) for the best, but it was very stressful.

Weak LOL
In that driving myself mad stage..changing passwords...
Myfico certainly helps in times like this...
Knowledge and knowing others have walked in same shoes.

I'm starting to think that Chase may have been hacked or something.  And why is it that SQ has been responsible for so many fraudulent charges?  I too have been a victim of fraudulent charges placed by SQ.

They really need to get their act together (SQ).

Chase is very good at catching fraud and sending you a new card to where ever you are at. That's pretty good in my book.
