thanks! I just received the email.

I also received that exact email and I'm pretty sure I was using checkfree (through my utility company) to pay a bill at the time in question. I don't recall any blank screens and my payment has been credited to my utilities account leading me to believe that I didn't get sent to the fake site. And although the email specifically states that you had be be using Windows and I'm on Linux I'm still a little freaked out. I am currently going through the links provided in this thread but I'm still concerned.

I guess I just wanted some confirmation from folks (such as yourselves) that are more tech savvy than me that I'm safe.

I have not logged into my account in months...it's all automatic luckily....hopefully they did not get that information. I will have to watch VERY closely...I think checkfree should give everyone 2-3 free years of credit watch programs...

I just re-listened to it, and he did say they were compromised and they were sending out those emails to let people know about it.

LOL! So just because you searched it makes it true?

In all seriousness if they found they got hit they'll do whatever they can to make it right. Welcome to the intarweb.

No need to welcome me, I have been here a while . I just found it crazy that they called me on a sunday night after reading my post a few hours later!

I wish other companies were as prompt.

might want to ask for numbers, because the size of the check does not equate the amount that will be on it.

Not to mention it's easy to spoof a caller ID number if you're using VOIP...
