MonkeyMan writes "I received a letter May 15, 2009 from batteries.com detailing a massive security breach where I'm assuming ALL their credit card information stored on their databases has been hacked and downloaded from a period of February 25th to sometime in March.
I personally have had thousands of charges on my credit card made by somebody in the United Kingdom and it looks like the operation is very sophisticated. Some of the charges occurred within 1 second of each other and must have been automated because one of the companies, British Airways indicated that they do not permit an airline ticket to be purchased by somebody and paid for by somebody else, and the card "looked" like it was issued in the UK, which it was not.
I suspect thousands of other victims are seeing charges on their cards too. If you have done business with batteries.com, immediately contact your bank, the FTC, and credit bureau, because identity theft is sure to follow."
