This has happened twice in the last few weeks. I was buying something from a website I had never been on and when I was checking out it asked for my email address. After I entered my email it sent a code to my phone and after I entered that it filled in my address and last 4 of my credit card.
This was the first time I really got concerned about this stuff. Where are they getting this? My phone is saved in my email (hotmail) account but not my address and credit card.
I've had my credit card hacked a few times and had to get a new one but it never cost me. But this is weird. I cancelled my card and I'm getting a new one. I'm trying to figure out a way to remain private but still be able to order online. Any suggestions? I just opened an email using proton. Maybe one of those identity protection services?
Edit: I figured out what's happening. It's a service called shop pay. If you enter your info into a website that uses shop pay they save it and then any other site that uses shop pay has your data. Still very annoying.
