Curious if anyone on here who has a capital one card has had it reissued in the last month.
Both my cards got reissued with a very vague reasoning been "to protect the security of your payments".
Both cards have kept the same 16 digit number but have new 3 digit authorisation codes. The second card I dont even use yet still got reissued.
My speculation is they have had a security breach.

Hi chrysalis
Yes, I have had Capitol 1 for a few years, and not been reissued as yet
Interestingly though, you mention security breach, as a kernel vulnerability has been found in Linux kernel, which allowed elevation of priverlidges on non root accounts.
Also, sha1 has been compromised in a real life test
Many thanks
John
