Unauthorized payment card appears in safari autofill

Hi. Several weeks back an authorized (China UnionPay) payment card appeared in my Safari's autofill listing. I've never had such a card, let alone entered related information into my browser or Apple devices. I have an Amex card, and have read about an Amex partnership with Unionpay but this type of thing would fall outside it's scope.

Since then, I removed the Unionpay card from my account, deleting other autofill information in the process. This past week gmail flagged suspicsious activity prompting me to change my passwords and add an antivirus, however I'm concerned that I may miss something or do things out of order and again be at risk.

I've read online tips on detection and prevention but have found nothing that speaks to this situation. Is my concern justified? How far must I go to cleaning my system? Please help.

Thanks,

Concerned and potentially hacked.

Where exactly do you see this payment card -- in your iCloud keychain? If so, do you synchronize that keychain with other devices? Do you know who might have had access to any of them?

If you have ever entered your iCloud password (or any other password) on a computer that isn't yours, then you should consider everything linked to that password compromised and act accordingly.

I had this issue today. We found that if you enter a Card number that starts with 62 or 88 and is 16-19 characters long, Safari will ask you if you want to save the card. If you save the card, it will be labeled as a China UnionPay card.

Safari thinks it's being smart by using the information here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_card_number to label cards. There is no Malware/Virus. Just Safari trying too hard.

Thank you! I was freaking out! I saw this on my phone!

Thanks! Now I don't have to waste time with changing all my passwords etc right now...

My Sears card starts with 62, so that's the culprit for me.

I hit the same issue here just few days after some IKEA purchase using loyalty card.
