Any brick and mortar store can have a breach. I wish I could pay cash locally 100% of the time.

I like staying off the NSA's radar as much as I can. Ever wonder why the stores in the mall want your number/email/life story when checking out? I like to tell them to buzz off.

My Amex got hit for $2300 last month from a car dealer in Chicago. Amex removed it right away and sent me a new card. It will not keep me from ordering from them in the future.

When I first read a thread about this on the main forum, I thought BRS dropped the ball big time. I don't fault them on getting hacked. I fault them on lack of communication & disregard of their customers. They probably don't want any BRS imposter emails with bogus links going to their customers, but you can at least send a simple email to acknowledge the breach with notification a letter coming in the mail. Not to mention, the 'Security Update' link on their site was definitely intended to be as small as possible.

That's so funny and true you almost don't notice it...

Ya i used paypal and they also have my email on file. My bank account didnt get hit but my email that i use for everything is being bombarded with spam. Im getting emails from fake banks saying my account has been compromised and i have to fill out a form to prove my idenity and what not. Rather annoying. I cant really blame brs fully. The people that hack stuff like that are very smart at what they do.
