Some donors find unauthorized charges on credit card bills.
Evidence has surfaced that some credit card numbers of people who donated to public broadcasting outlet WMHT-TV in March have been illegally used after someone hacked into the station's database April 10 and posted the numbers on the Internet. Officials at WMHT Educational Communications said this week that it was unlikely anyone could fraudulently use the numbers from 1,000 member accounts accessed because the hacker got only the numbers and expiration dates and not the owner's names and addresses. She canceled her card when she got her bill. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I feel badly that this happened to the station and hope it doesn't hurt them.
