Uh Oh Bandit trouble

[kb2112]

I just got this email from Bandit Lures, and I figured that Id post it here to let others know to keep an eye on their cc statements.


We have recently become aware that some our on-line customers may have had their credit card information stolen and used for unauthorized purchases. While it is unclear at this point where the credit card information was wrongfully obtained -- whether though "hacking" into the third-party server that hosts our website or some other merchant from which our customers made purchases-- we want to assure our customers that Bandit Lures has taken all possible precautions to ensure its customers can continue to make purchases on our website safely. In fact, while it continues to investigate the source of any problem, Bandit Lures has switched website server hosts and taken other measures to ensure its website provides a secure place for customers to make purchases. Bandit Lures' website already has an SSL certificate, which offers one of the highest levels of online security available. The new steps Bandit Lures has taken should give its customers even more peace of mind when shopping with us online. We will continue to make our customers' convenience, satisfaction, and security our highest priority. Bandit Lures also strongly urges its customers to monitor their credit card accounts and contact their credit card vendors if they detect unauthorized activity.

After reading about all the trouble recently ......I will not buy from them unless they get set up to take PayPal.

Chris,

Thank you for being upfront about this situation. I have in the past been a victim of credit card fraud, and appreciate the heads up.
