How secure is Edy?

Edy log

When I tried to pay for something with my Edy card earlier today it was declined because there was not enough money on it.

I thought that was a bit odd since I had loaded 5000 Yen onto it only last week, so I checked the transaction log with the card reader on my laptop.

Unfortunately it only shows the last 6 transactions, and only the amounts, no store or vendor name. I can account for 5 of the transactions, but I am 100% certain that I did not use it to buy something for 400 Yen at 23:29 on Tuesday evening. Nor did the card ever leave my possession.

So now I’m wondering how this has happened. Hopefully when I manage to contact the card issuer they’ll be able to give more detailed information.
