It is ridiculous that it's still happening. Searching a little reveals that this latest round of hacking seems to have started sometime in August, though there are similar occurrences back in June.
Really, Walmart?! Sheesh. They need to admit there's a problem and fix it! Not so much for me; I'll not be re-opening my account. There are still a lot of people that aren't aware of this. pay no attention to the words below the line...

Those who've been hacked should report this to their state Attorney General. In NYS there's a law called the New York State Information Security Breach and Notification Act, which makes it illegal for Wal-Mart not to notify their customers if a security breach has occured. I don't know about anyone else, but Wal-Mart never contacted me, never returned my emails or calls regarding this.

They got me too. Two $40 charges and a $20 charge for game cards. I don't see anything on my Amex account yet. Walmart sent me a cancelation on one charge already from yesterday but didn't respond to my inquiries. I had some issues with my Yahoo email as well which my Walmart account was linked to. I'm not sure if it's related as the passwords were completely different, but I changed them just to be safe.
