There's something I don't understand with all of this (Target, Home Depot, and now Chase). If I were a hacker, I would go for the real gold. (Alas, I'm not. I just like to travel.)
The mother lode of information resides at the IRS, the Social Security administration, and myriads of other Federal and State government offices. If I had to guess, I would suspect that private firms such as Chase may have better cyber-security than the government.
Or perhaps this has already happened and they haven't told us?

...if something happens they will make it right and I will have $0 out of pocket liability
It's more the fact that someone (or some computer algorithm) may flag your MS on your Chase accounts as potential fraud given the recent hacking.
Personally, I'm switching all my MS cards to Citi or Amex for the near term.

I think people are missing my point. It's not the fact that your CC# is compromised. That's an easy fix/resolution.

Point of Data: (NON MS Card) Chase United:
2 Fraud charges appeared Saturday (didn't check the card until today - 2 days later) totaling $700 (+ change)
Called Chase, they immediately cancelled the card, sent a new one overnight to be delivered by 2pm tomorrow and said the refund will show up in 24-48 hours if not to call back.
No clue if it's related but I never use that chase card online, only at the grocery store and their gas station and I never even hand the card to the cashier I always swipe it myself through the machine.
Funny thing is 1 charge was for Delta (If I'm going to spend money on Delta I'll use my Delta card or a CB card)

Got an alert this morning that someone had attempted to add herself as an AU on my Freedom account. CSR in the fraud department had me setup an account password (previously they had asked for mother's maiden name). Since it was an attempt to add AU, the CSR said he thought it was the result of someone obtaining personal info, rather than card info (sounds like a reasonable conclusion to me). Will be monitoring my credit reports and accounts very closely for a while.
CSR said that all my accounts will have extra special Chase fraud prevention protection by a specific department for 90 days (don't recall the department).

Whomever used your card on Delta is dumb, they can easily trace it back! Same with the gas stations and grocery (with camera).

3 fraudulent charges on my card tonight
2 United + 1 Hotwire totaling $2000+
someone traveled from Newark to Fort Lauderdale on the 10th
Funny thing is I just activated my new card tonight (the one they sent me as a result of the Home Depot hack)
sigh

Two cards got hacked. Chase Freedom and CSP. Both within the same week. One was within state (online merchant) and the last time I used the card was at some random gas station (to meet 3Q bonus) where I think it was hacked. CSP was used in an international location after I used it in Asia. Really frustrating.

One of mine just got hit. Luckily I have alerts set up, so I caught it when it was still a 7-cent authorization (some Mexican telecom company). Card closed, new one on the way.

Chase Got Hacked
Same here. We have had a few cases in the last few years with chase. On Wednesday it was the hyatt card. I get alerts so I saw a .04 authorization come from Brazil. Called them right away. They cancelled card and sent a new one overnight. This card is rarely used. Did use it in September but it had been awhile before that.
