I just got a phone call from my bank that someone hacked Visa and stole millions of different account numbers, credit card numbers, etc. Mine was one of them, but luckily, no money has been taken out of my balance, so they got to me before anything bad happened.
So if you guys have any Visa cards, you might want to check to see if your card numbers have been hacked, since they apparently know all the accounts that were hacked.
EDIT: Yes, I already called my bank at the customer service hotline to confirm that this wasn't a hoax.

I just dispute the charges if there is any fraud. Easy.

Well, I don't have to do that now.
Damien, from what I understand, it is only localized to US customers.
