Just giving a heads up, I spotted this on Seibertron (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/various-people-report-unauthorized-charges-appearing-on-credit-cards-tfsource-possibly-hacked/17629/)

Says it could be TFsource, and I know alot of you guys buy stuff from there, so just be careful and check your statements.

This could possibly be more widespread than first thought -

"All information is securely kept and processed by Paypal, our credit card processing gateway. Because cards are stored by Paypal, no employee or owner at BBTS has access to your full credit card information, we can only view the first 4 and last 4 digits" - Joel Boblit President BBTS

I would say to anyone using Paypal to check their statements as well.

Other posters on Seibertron believe that it is related to credit card transactions only, but it's better to be safe than out-of-pocket.

UPDATE: I just checked my Paypal statements and everything looks fine. No unexpected charges.

If paypal is hacked then alot of people are in trouble including me :(
It sounds like its only transactions under $10 but thats besides the point!

Exactly, when you look at the big picture though, 1 million people = 10 million bucks. I think we all just need to be careful and check our statements just in case.
