If you happened to have paid for an order via Gamestop.com's website, then you may want to read the following statement:
Keep an eye on your credit cards, always.

Other Gamestop.com hacked?

yep they are closing roughly 100-200 stores. Unfortunately that's life.
This stinks for people who use a regular credit card to buy games on Gamestop. I think using Giftcards, or a pre-paid credit card with a low balance like $80 on it is safer for shopping websites where their security maybe not as strong as Paypal which hires more computer security workers to secure their data.
Not surprised, someone hijacked my account late last year and redeemed all the points I had earned for some $10 gift certificates. I called their help line to let them know and they took care of it, but they told me to be careful with my account and password. I hadn't bought a game online from them since 2011, so I'm pretty sure they were hacked but didn't want to admit it.
same thing happened to me a few years ago. I sent something to their help desk and didn't hear anything back and so I bitched on facebook and the people on their FB refunded me the points, and then a week later I got a refund from their help desk as well. So because I was hacked I ended up with double the points back
Nice! The person who hacked me was able to get around 30,000 points in rewards even though I only had 10,000 points available. They obviously knew what they were doing.same thing happened to me a few years ago.

how did they get 20k extra?

Must be an exploit. That's why I'm assuming this isn't just some random occurance where somebody found my login credentials but a focused hacking attempt aimed directly at exploiting GameStop's weak points.
Wish I knew of the exploit, but now I use a password that you have to copy and paste in since its so long/complicated.
It could also be cracking attempts if you used a weak password or passwords you used on other sites that have been hacked.same thing happened to me a few years ago.

Strangely enough, the hacking happened shortly after I visited my local gamestop and someone working that day did give me a bad vibe. Not sure if connected at all.
