Headsup: typekit accts hacked ( possibly )

We just had our bank on the phone, 1200 attempts to grab funds eminating from typekit. All unauthorised. Our bank ( in Australia ) stated the attempts were sequentially running card expiry dates.

I have notified Typekit. But thought i would give you guys the heads up.

sorry but whats typekit?

Ouch, that would be quite severe. Are you sure the transactions actually eminated from typekit, or they pretended to be typekit? Do the numbers match? If they’re actually sending out these rogue money requests, that could mean their payment server has been comprised..

There’s no news on the subject available yet. Te only page you get to when googling is this thread I can only assume they would give it priority if the enquiry you submitted makes it through. I don’t know how you notified them, but perhaps you can contact them more directly.

If I recall correctly, it’s Adobe’s font shop.

Hi Joost,

All i was told, as banks arent that forthcoming… is it was in USA .

Apparently, they were pinging the cc at a rate of 1 per second. Each time adjusting the exp. Dte by a day.

I guess i will never know, but thats my card buggered. New one on way, just gotta remember to update it with all our suppliers, domain guys grrr….
