You might consider this a hot deal if you hold an MBNA credit card. ;-)
I got a call last night from MBNA wanting to verify that we had made a couple of "strange looking" charges. Turns out that these charges were made on a MBNA credit card I got over a year ago that I never even ACTIVATED, much less charged anything to.
Short story given this AM by MBNA is that a list (they didn't say how many) of MBNA credit cards was compromised and complete info for them posted on the Internet. Might want to take a close look at recent activity for your MBNA credit cards.
Edit: The two charges on my card were from something called Global Telephone and Chic Internet. Never heard of either.

Thanks for a good warning. This deserves a few of days of "perma-bump" to help all of our members.
