MonoPrice Warning!!!!

I don't believe the date ranges they claim in their statement. My card was recently compromised during the same time frame and in the same manner as many of the people reporting problems (the seemingly innocuous $1 iTunes charge). I find it unbelievably coincidental that my first case of card fraud in 16 years just happened to occur at the same time and same manner as other people's as a result of the Monoprice breach. My last, and only, Monoprice orders were at the beginning of December.

The card companies, or at least Amex, had picked up on what was going on. They flagged the iTunes charge as potentially fraudulent and contacted me, even though I buy stuff through iTunes at least once every few months, so it wasn't an odd charge to have hit my account.

I would contact them and let them know. I still think they arent sure how it happened

We have engaged Kroll Inc., the world’s leading risk consulting company, to provide its ID TheftSmart™ comprehensive identity theft safeguards to those customers at our expense.

this is more than I got from UC Berkeley when they had hackers steal 100k SSNs and other information from their databases >.>

I've ordered a number of things from monoprice over the past year, and have had no unauthorized activity... I wonder how many people were affected.

I have not bought from MonoPrice in about a year but I have bought from them many time before with no problems. I have been very pleased with their prices, customer service and fast shipping.
