A message from Larry Drexler, Chief Privacy Officer (of Barclaycard)

You may have seen recent news about an online security flaw called Heartbleed that affects the widely-used Internet security protocol OpenSSL. Information exchanged on websites using OpenSSL may not have been protected.   

Barclaycard has taken corrective action to protect our customer service website. Our security team continues to actively monitor card accounts to detect fraudulent transactions. 

To protect your account information, we recommend that you change your online banking password. Simply follow these easy steps:

1. Click on Your profile at the top right of your account website.
2. Scroll down to Password, and choose Edit.
3. Confirm your current password, then select a new one.  

What else can you do? 

• Review your account activity on a regular basis and report any suspicious transactions to us as soon as possible.  
  
  
• You can also enroll in account alerts which help you monitor your account. Just log in and visit your Account settings page to set up the Alerts you'd like.

In the meantime, continue using your card with confidence. Remember, you are not responsible for unauthorized purchases made with your account.
