So the situation is the following.

I have been using Adobe services for many years and since 20 March someone has been trying to bill me repeatedly for the service I didn't purchase. Luckily they didn't succeed. 

The last transactions info

1) DRI*Adobe Systems, 19 March 2020 10:55 -119.88 USD

2) Paypal22 March 2020 at 03:09  - 146,85 USD 

 

What helped me not to get billed?

1) card limits

2) creating the virtual USD card for online payments with online payment limits and never used it anywhere else but Adobe and Paypal payment

3) quick online bank support on blocking and reissuing the card (Monobank is the best) 

 

What did I do: 

1) contacted bank 

2) I have asked Adobe support, they couldn't locate the transaction or the biller. 

3) tried Paypal support better. and Paypal help center doesn't work that way so I can locate an unauthorized bill 

 

So at least this post is evidence for the issue going on. 

 

Possible leaks locations: 

1) adobe account both UAH and USD cards that were billed were used for paying Adobe services 

2) if I ever paid anywhere using an open wi-fi network - possible for UAH card only 

3) I added both USD and UAH card to my Paypal account 

 

 

My regular security measures:

1) I never used any other computer rather than mine

2) I never shared my card info 

3) paid antivirus eset

4) never gave physical card to anyone 

5) change passwords and use strong passwords

6) my mac account ID is protected by the pass and touch ID
