Anyone else get a letter from Johnny's Selected Seeds? I got a letter today apologizing because someone had hacked their website and stolen all of my personal data including my credit card number.

Yep! I got one too. Here's what to do:
Call your credit card customer service. They will read off all charges to your account since the theft date. Next they will cancel your account, and issue cards with a new number. Then they can offer a service (mine is $11.99 a month)to set you up with a service with the 3 credit report holders who will notify you of any suspicious activity - mainly a newly opened account. This has happened to me twice before!!! Cards were actually swiped in various states. These people can open new accounts in your name, make up a number of cards & use them. The credit card people are really on top of this. No one wants to pay $11.99 a month, but I will keep this service for a couple of months to make sure nothing happens!!

Good luck....Glenna

And you have to write to the 3 credidit bureaus and they will put a six month hold on any inquiries into new credit.
