I've had a couple of credit cards that banks replaced because a vendor's system had been compromised. My account had never been used, but the bank decided it would be better to close that account and reissue a new card and number.

Frankly, I wouldn't put it past banks making these claims to consumers just so they'll purchase identity protection, etc. I've used nothing but Macs, do all my banking online, and purchase all the time online using my cards. I only access them from home, and I have never had any of my bank sites compromised. Is it possible that you connected to your Wells Fargo site using a different computer and network?

I did connect to Wells-Fargo about 2 weeks ago through my iPhone. On the 3G Network, not my home network.

But that was 2 weeks ago. < sigh > What, the hackers waited two weeks to use the access “suspiciously”?

Protection against fraud is pretty standard stuff at banks. Most banks will have a limit of $50 or something. My banks will reimburse for 100% of any claim. Check the disclaimers or call their office.
