We got hacked!

After having the online store up for 9 months with zero security issues today we found out some lowlife hacked us last week.

We had 2 sales where the payment was rerouted to his Paypal id, and not ours. I have contacted Paypal and a freeze has been placed upon his account and the funds are being returned to the 2 customers that were affected.

I have contacted one of the customers and explained the situation but the other customer did not sign up for a customer account at the website therefor we do not have his contact info.

So Michael S, if you are reading this please contact us so we can further explain matters.

Also by searching for the hackers emails online we found multiple other online stores hit by the same guy....so it was a widespread operation not directed solely at us. I'm hoping the authorities can track him down and throw his ass in jail.

In the meantime I have a webdesigner studying the code to see how he got in. The store will be down until this is determined.

Knives coming available soon will be sold through Ebay until the issue is resolved.

Thank you for your understanding,
-Jason

(PS to all previous customers, don't worry your financial info is stored at Paypal, NOT on our site, so the hacker had no access to it)
