The story
Hackers had set up a fake open access point to which I connected to. During that session, I logged into two of my credit card accounts. Later on, I found out that both of those cards had been used for various purchase around the country. I was devastated as I did not realize what was going on until significant purchases had gone through.
It was a first experience of this kind, so it took me a while to sort things out. I reported my credit card as stolen to the respective companies, reported all the fraudulent transactions. Although I did get my new cards in a couple of days, it took a lot more time than I would have liked for the fraudulent transactions to clear out, during which I was nervous and frustrated.
