Re: OT - DIY.COM Rant Sorry



I placed an order with diy.com last week - they were very quick with
delivery!  However my card details got used in the US the very next day.
MasterCard spotted it and asked if I could confirm the US purchase.  I
hadn't used the card for internet shopping for months, so chances are my
card details were grabbed during the B&Q transaction, or is diy.com being
hacked???  How secure is diy.com?  Mark H, is this something you can comment
on???
