New Small-Amount Card Testing Fraud Has Begun, Merchant ZOO BERLIN AG — Everyone Check Your Accounts

Boundless drawer card, used every year to grab the FN and elite night credits. This year's new addition is the airline reimbursement. First half of the year I used it on Cathay Pacific to pay taxes and fees, via the link sent to my email by customer service. A few days ago I remembered I could get another 50 reimbursed in the second half, so I used it to pay the taxes on a domestic China Southern ticket to Japan. Paid on the official website. Today I got hit. No idea which step leaked it. I threw the info at GPT — there are already posts from the Germany region about being hit with €1 test charges, and from what I read, several people with European banks have reported fraudulent charges. Then it added this merchant's history. There's also a noteworthy historical background: Zoo Berlin officially disclosed a Ticketcounter data breach back in 2021. At the time, roughly 400,000 Zoo / Tierpark / Aquarium Berlin customers were affected, involving customer data from the 2020 online shop. Zoo Berlin stated at the time that the information involved mainly included names, emails, and booked products, but that passwords, phone numbers, addresses, and dates of birth were not leaked. Not sure if it's another small-amount no-CVV-needed test or if everything's already been leaked — either way, check your texts and emails when you can.
