Ive naturally become a bit concerned by the recent hackage .... and have cancelled my credit card just now.
But if this becomes a regular thing , my credit card company might not be happy !!!
But if I wanted to remove my credit card details of the site, it dosen't seem that easy to do ... you can cancel your account, but they still seem to keep your details for about 2 months after that ? are the details removed after that
UK data protection laws give us the right to get our details removed when we want, but is it the same in America ?
is there an option to remove credit card details of the system and if so .. where is it .. please for future reference
thanks

thanks From: Robin Linden from the Linden Blog No unencrypted credit card information is stored on the database in question. Unencrypted credit card information has not been compromised. If you're that worried about it then you're welcome to do whatever you wish but it doesn't appear to be necessarry. |

im just wondering because i know that a certain auction site have been in trouble for not providing a clear and easy way for you to remove your credit card details from their site and this one seems even more hidden .. if a way even exists
As for putting in a random number that dosen't work . it needs to be a valid credit card number for the system to accept it
