Just an FYI for people with Walmart accounts. Friday night I received an email saying my order has been canceled- knowing I haven't placed an order I was concerned. I called Walmart to see what was going on and it appeared someone hacked in my account and tried making a purchase using my CC#. The order did not go through due to lack of accounting information ( I think it was the 3 number code) The Rep told me there was a hold on that card and she deleted it from my account. I called my CC company, closed that card and I'm being issued a new card/ account.

I've had that card since I was 18, never ever has something like this happened- I went to research and found out that Walmart accounts have been hacked A LOT! Even if you don't save your account, go make sure. My MIL never saves her CC number online, she went to check her account on Walmart.com and sure enough it had been saved!!

Thankfully the order did not go through ($350.00 mini Ipad), which I would have been pretty steamed because I dont even have an Ipad!! LoL
