3 local supermarket chains confirm ‘suspicious activity’ on systems

[@Charly-in-the-808]

I knew it just from the last newscast. They were hacked. And people are saying cash is useless. Apparently, “they” are wrong.

[@jamestaylor3805]

Forever fight against any movement towards becoming cashless.

[@jogordon1530]

Give it time! It’s coming! Better hope you have a good supply of cash when they take it all down during a major crisis!

As a long time IT guy I can tell you MOST companies have extremely low network system protection. And people with higher access have zero training on how to identify social engineering hacks.

More than half the grocery chains and retail stores do not have well protected networks and mainly outdated systems! Our one grocery store which was a Safeway was still using Windows 2000 based self check out stations up until two years ago!

[@russellcraddock3529]

Interesting here in Colorado we are having a battle of two grocery chains want to merge with each other and have one giant chain Kroger and Safeway and Albertsons a group In Utah that has sold most of THEIR stores to Safeways ! Now they are in court to see if it legal for the merger to take place

Walmart, try to charge me $125 for $45. I was paying cash. I showed the worker she asked if I still wanted to pay for it. It's $80 more, no, I don't want to buy it. I was paying cash

[@anagonyaowusu3119]

Hopefully you were polite to the worker

[@doords]

I remember something like this. My card only had a few dollars left and the charge failed.

“Unfortunately you and I are not usually the biggest target”? Odd way to phrase that. Lol

[@foomp]

Pretty sure he actually said "Uhh fortunately" but that it came off sounding like "unfortunately". That specific saying being misheard happens pretty often.

[@theotheleo6830]

@@foomp He did say "unfortunately", but saying "fortunately" would have been even worse.

[@foomp]

@@theotheleo6830 Why worse? He's explaining it to laymen. Most people are far more concerned about their security than a businesses. So he's basically saying fortunately for the audience, they're not the biggest targets of these sorts of things.

Thanks for subsidizing my 1.5% CC kickback. In US most cost of services and merchandise already have the CC fees built in. For me being wise in using credit is king. I do use cash in certain countries when travel. Yes, and that are in foreign currencies. Taiwan, Japan, China, and many European countries are some examples.

[@jogordon1530]

@@maestrovsoYou can’t use your bloody CC if the network is down!

[@maestrovso]

@@jogordon1530 For over a few decades that rarely happened. When it does, I simply leave and not holding up the checkout line like the holier than thou cash shoppers that insist in looking for just the exact change from the bottom of the purse/pockets.

I shop at Times and recently had two fraudulent charges on my card.

[@jamestaylor3805]

Contact the store so they can get your information into the investigators hands... the picture is easier to draw the more dots they have.

[@ChandlerCrisafulli]

I work for Times supermarket do you remember when you had to charge us credit and make a signature those are back charges from when you had made a purchase the day you signed that it just now processed over because the Internet has been down

My social security been leaked soo often.

[@techshabby0001]

I get notices in the mail every couple months telling there's been a breach. Last one was Ticketmaster from when I bought a ticket 6 years ago. Why are companies allowed to store and distribute your data until the end of time? Also why are those "agree" ments allowed to remain in place long after you've closed your account or moved on? There should be time limits. I would vote for any candidate that addressed this very important issue of the security of out privacy and the protection of our data from predatory and unfair practices by all companies.

[@Charly-in-the-808]

Millions of our SS numbers were breached. Recently.

Thats already out with that massive breach. Had to freeze my credit but now if i want to apply for a Sams Club credit card im not sure what to do.

[@dw3403]

You get a hold of the company you had freeze it and ask them. A soft enquiry may not need anything.

[@sostrong9655]

Find out which of the 3 credit bureaus they us to check your credit, unfreeze that one then apply and freeze it when you're done.

My credit card got hacked 3 weeks after going to don Quijote

[@ChandlerCrisafulli]

Stop saying lies it’s not true. The second day our systems went off-line. We put an antivirus system to lock out any hacking system to make sure any information doesn’t get leaked out there.

[@ChandlerCrisafulli]

You weren’t hacked you know when you went to Donkeyote and you had to make a signature on the card reader because the systems were down that is the back charge from that date but it just now got posted to your credit card. The merchant couldn’t collect your payment because due to Internet being down and it just now processed over

Cash isn’t safe either. In confederate war they had trunks and mattresses full of cash very rich southerners. A war between Yankees and southern the south fell and all that millions of confederate cash was useless in one day. USA now invaded and crimes rising soon will be war on American soil cash will be useless. Buy what you need now. Don’t rely on cash.

[@SeahawksFTW2014]

Always stay stocked up for the downfall of civilization. Cash is pretend. Our currency became a joke the moment we switched from precious metals to printed paper...

[@maestrovso]

Where are the comments from those claim they never want any debt, and always use debit card instead of we who rely on revolving credits? Don't even get me started with those insist of pay with cash and holding up the checkout line when they have to count out their last quarter, dime, and penny from the bottom of their pocket/purse.
