The Western Union website has been hacked and credit card number were compromised. Right now the western union website simply states

We apologize for any inconvenience

This is pretty big news and really emphasizes the importance of online security. More info is available at http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/2000...hackers_1.html. If you recently made an online transaction at western union you probably want to cancel your credit card.
