Don't know for sure if it was leaked through GOG.com, but aside from a few business purchases and items from big-name stores like Amazon, Netflix, etc, this is the only thing I've bought recently. And the charge ($1.89) was on the same day as my GOG.com purchase and just after my credit card got charged. Here's the entry:

VISA CHECK CARD PURCHASE IM GAMED.COM LLC 213-286-4100 CO

I've searched around and a lot of other people have been fraudulently charged $1.89 or $4.89 by "GAMED.COM". The number of people indicates that the leak has to be from a fairly widespread source, so either Netflix or Amazon or something like that has been compromised, or it's GOG.com. Please look into this and make sure you haven't been hacked.

On a more direct note, I ordered Red Baron in the hopes of being able to play a multiplayer version. The basic Red Baron works just fine, but that's available for free all over the Internet and it can even be played online through INN Revival, so I was really hoping the 3D version would be nice. It wasn't - it looks like crap, the planes don't fly like they do in the DOS version, and most of the views (F keys) don't seem to work. I'm not reversing the charge because you probably weren't trying to rip me off, but I'm not terribly happy about my purchase. And this is on top of my credit card likely having been leaked.

Get in touch with your bank/credit card company. I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that it's GOG that's been compromised. It could be, but I just checked my statement and I see no unusual activity and I've made 6 purchases from GOG in the past month.

Same here. I have made abut 3 purchases last month and no problems. You should also check your PC for keylogers and nasty stuff just in case.

@Stupendous

It might be your pc that is leaking your credit card information by a nasty trojan. Try normal antiviral safety measures on your rig, like new installation of windows. I hope your issues will be solved but i do not think that the info leaked over gog.com. I bought over 10 articles via paypal here, and there was no fraught attempt on my bank account.

Have a nice day

I would take some of the advice from here.

There are two more possibilities:
1) Are these people your friends? If yes, maybe you are sharing the same net with some "sniffing"?
2) Maybe you've got the same virus / keylogger as they.

Usually I don't jump to the defense of GOG like a fanboy but I get the feeling like you're hemorraging banking data somehow. Bought stuff off GOG but nothing's happened -- also signed up for Netflix a week ago and no issues there either.

Seriously. It's probably not the big fat companies that you're using, because everyone with a credit card would be complaining of problems if that were the case.

That was my first step, they're issuing me a new card. I also reported it to the FBI. Incidently, if GOG.com were compromised, the last thing the hackers would do is charge everyone who purchased something, that would make it far too obvious. I reinstalled Windows only a few months ago, have only been visiting big websites (aside from GOG.com) and only using Firefox (IE is a security hole). I have Norton installed, which isn't the best security package in the world but keeps out the obvious stuff. It's unlikely I have a trojan. No, they are not. I don't use filesharing software and my home network is entirely Macs except my own PC, so there isn't any lateral infection going on. Already found that page while looking at assorted fraud reports for the company.

^ IE is more secure than Firefox.
^ Like Macs don't have malware, lol.
^ Scan the systems right away for keyloggers, not trojans.

Well several posts note that it is unlikely related to any recent online purchases and possibly even any online purchases. People were charged who had never used their cards online and the company has been doing this for quite a few years now.

I like to make online purchases from a live cd Linux distro such as Damn Small Linux or Ubuntu. Other methods may be secure enough, but it is physically impossible to be affected by a trojan or any other virus that could be on one's hard drive through this method. A virtual box instance should suffice.

Maybe out of the box, but not once you get the proper extensions installed.


It's more likely the OP got owned by:
1) Cross-site-scripting
2) An infected ad (which is a bigger reason to run Ad Block Plus than hating ads, imo)
3) An infected PDF

Norton is a joke for security. Avast! sort of works and is the only current Windows AV I can recommend.

Speaking of blocking ads - I would recommend also Flashblock here in addition. It blocks any flash on viewed website and allows you to decide yourself - to run or not to run.
