Vern Fischer got a call from First Liberty Credit Union a couple years ago notifying him that his Visa card was one of 40 million nationwide potentially at risk because of a security breach.

Someone hacked into CardSystems Solutions, a third-party payment processor, in July 2005 and stole some customers’ account numbers.

Now Fischer is facing a similar situation. He’s among the 226,000 D.A. Davidson Co. http://www.davidsoncompanies.com/ account holders who received letters late last month notifying them that a hacker obtained their names, Social Security numbers and account balances via a Davidson database.

Fischer hopes this new situation will be as uneventful as the last.
