By "a lot", I mean two separate threads in General Cycling, and at least one post on Touring. The main names mentioned are Bike Nashbar and Niagra Bicycle. The problems might stem from credit card processor Hartland, which discovered a data security breach in January.

A couple of posters have suggested the following ways to limit their risk in the future:

- maintain a single credit card for online purchases, and just online purchases.

- have single-use virtual card numbers issued for each online purchase. Many credit card companies have this feature, and Paypal does as well.
