Credit Card Hacking
I got a call this past Monday from the fraud department at Citizens Bank because my company card had some unusual charges. I only use the card for gas and business expenses, and had just used it at a Mobil station on Sunday afternoon. It turns out that there was over $7,000 charged to the card on Sunday. What red-flagged it was that there was $3,000 charged to Ethiopian Airlines and the rest was all charged in other countries. The guy from the bank said that scammers can get the infomation off your card by hacking into the card reader remotely if they are nearby, i.e. in the parking lot of the gas station or in the store/restaurant you're shopping at if it has wifi. I had no idea that this was even possible.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
