Your personal data is not safe
I am a regular Takealot client, for many years. I recently made a Takealot online purchase, using one of my credit cards. I have not previously used this card at Takealot, and, I do not use this card for any online other purchases. Therefore, only Takealot has this particular card verification details. A few days later, several attempts were made by someone to pay Uber trips. That means, my card is loaded at Uber with verification details. My bank noticed the irregular action and alerted me, whilst blocking that card. No doubt further ***** attempts were made on that card. That is clearly a data leak by Takealot. My advice to anyone; do not load your card or banking details on Takealot, find another way to pay them. In future, I’ll set up a virtual card to use. Beware, your data is not secure.
