Update On The Hack

Just a quick update...


Paypal has indeed refunded the money the hacker stole, they put a freeze on his account, and will be seeing if they can prosecute him. So neither us, nor our customers lost any money, it just inconvenienced us. Customer financial info was NOT compromised since it is stored on Paypals server, not ours.

I checked around the net and found multiple other sites that the same guy had hacked and warned them that they may be hacked. Luckily some of the others got the warning in time which prevented them from getting money taken so at least something good came out of this.

In the meantime I will be leaving the store offline as a web designer does a security check on it to figure out how the guy got in. I may end up moving to a different software completely. Until then all new knives will be listed on Ebay, and we will notify you when they are available.

Thanks,
-Jason
