Several times over the years, my bank (Chase) has issued me a new credit card (Visa) for no obvious reason. “Please destroy your old card immediately and use this one instead.” I’ve always assumed it was because of some sort of massive data breach — though obviously they never mentioned that.
At least no notes saying one has a gub.
Perhaps someone didn’t like being stuck with the tab for a bunch of illegal alien Mexicans and decided to get paid?
The assertion by the author that banks, especially US banks, can keep cyber crimes on the “down low” is incorrect. Banks are REQUIRED to report cyber crimes.
