My Account was Hacked :(

Well, I think old as in the one you used before then, if its within X time. However, if you'd require an old credit card if you, say, forgot your password, it could create problems, as a lot of people don't memorize or keep old, expired credit cards. So I'd understand requiring the current credit card in those cases.

Surely SE wouldn't need to know the password of a currently active or expired card though right?

Just having the 16 digit card number should suffice, or at least the last 4 numbers and the security check numbers on the back of the card.

Anyways, sorry to hear about that Jussy, best of luck getting your account back =(

Notice how I said YOU forgot the password, not SE.

If you forget your password, and SE asks you for your last credit card, that could create problems for you. That's why they ask for the current one. However, as I said, it'd make sense if it would be OK for you to state the creditcard used before, if its within 1 week of changing the credit card, to help their hacked customers.
