#1. your in arkansas No one within a 200mile radius even knows how to
hack a BASIC secured wifi connection much less be able to decipher the
encryption used between payment gateway and the credit card machine.
#2. you were probably surfing porn and got a nasty Trojan with std on it
which exploited your card when you wanted to see more of the peep show. LOL

This type of fluff article irritates me. That abuse of the term
hacking/hacker is comparable to the abuse of the term engineer.
"my facebook got hacked!!" no it didnt, you left your device
signed in or you followed a phishing link, you werent hacked, your
ignorance was exploited with zero knowledge that you even exist
"a hacker encrypted my data" no, in all likelyhood, a script
kiddie out there altered code from an existing ransomeware package
to become the beneficiary of your ignorance in opening suspect
attachments and profited by your inability to follow the simple
instruction:back that shit up. no "hackers involved"
In terms of technical prowess, and both the criminal and "white
hat" environment, "hack" and "hacker" used to garner some respect,
now the terms are so misused they have no value. This is just
going to leave me very irritated the rest of the day
