If it was a full on attack they would be wiping you accounts out.
You guys need to talk to the police ASAP.

I haven't used my new card at schumacher and we had our bank account cleared out recently.
They start by getting something small (like O2 top up - which they did with us on the thursday night) then once they know the card works with a small amount that you may not notice, they then go on a shopping spree....costing us £150 in flowers (just like cosie :s) from an interflora store in kings lynn, and then they tried to buy $900 worth of designer clothes from the US.
So I wouldn't say its much to do with Schumacher but an overall lack of security on the internet. If these people want your details, they'll get it.
We contacted the bank and the fraud squad contacted us on the friday.
They basically asked if we'd had the card taken off us for any transactions. As it happened it had been taken off us at a cadbury's store as their regular chip and pin was not working....apparently. So thats where we think ours was done. Every other transaction has been chip and pin....which is still just as easy to clone as the old system.
It would be helpful if more places did include Paypal as a payment method though.
