That sucks.  I had my card for 2 weeks now.  Hopefully they let the cardholders know and give free monitoring.

"The statement went on to say that the customers' Social Security numbers, dates of birth, card expiration dates and card security codes "were not compromised."

Well of course Citi is going to say that.

From a BK years ago to:
EX - 3/11 pulled by lender- 835, EQ - 2/11-816, TU - 2/11-782

"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they've made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem".

Most financial security breaches are in third-party email marketing systems-- which don't contain account numbers and the like.

Can't wait to hear from Citi about their **bleep** up!

My wife got a notice. They gave her a free year of credit monitoring and we put a 90 day alert with the bureaus.
