And no, I'm not coughing.

So I get an e-mail today that my Government credit card has been selected for a random audit. This happens occasionally; you just copy all your paperwork and bundle it in a secured envelope and send it to the auditors.

Except one teeny-tiny detail: I haven't made a purchase since May of 2007 on the card and these charges were in July.

The person who notified me of the audit sent me a copy of the expense sheet. Both charges were made on a Thursday while I was teleworking. I did some surfing on the net and one charge is to a UK magazine subscription site and the other two are for a subscription for an EMAP tower, whatever the heck that is, also located in England (the charge says Peterborough).

Can you say "hack"? I knew you could.

Peterborogh is where a British media company called EMAP is/was (they were taken over by another Company in March). They seem to be involved in business to business advertising.

From their website: "Emap Ltd is a Business-to-Business media group that focuses on five main verticals - construction, retail, media, automotive and public sector."

Sounds like someone was paying for their ad with a stolen credit card number
