NOTICE OF DATA BREACH
Dear Angus,
Freedom
Munitions recently became aware the personal information of our valued
online customers may have been compromised as a result of unauthorized
access through an e-commerce vendor. We are taking this seriously, and
want to provide you with information about this incident that may affect
you, as well as suggestions on actions you can take to protect your
privacy and security.
What happened?
Freedom
Munitions became aware of a possible security issue with the third
party e-commerce system supporting online purchases. It involved
attackers who accessed order information and used malicious programming
code to steal credit card information used when our customers made
purchases.
Our
third party vendor determined how the situation occurred, how many
customers might be affected, and what would be necessary to stop the
problem. We believe the security issue has now been resolved
successfully and all malicious code removed. We continue to monitor our
system closely to insure there are no more attempts made to gain access
to any information.
How did this affect customers?
Customers who made online purchases at FreedomMunitions.com between October 16 and November 26 were potentially affected.
Just
because you made an online purchase during these dates does not
automatically mean you are a victim of actual fraud. We want to fully
inform all of our customers so you can take action to protect yourself
from any potential or ongoing harm.
What information was involved?
The
information that may have been viewed included your: first and last
name, home address, email address and, for customers who made online
purchases between October 16, 2020 and November 26, 2020 credit card
data.
What should you do now?
As
a precautionary measure, we recommend that you remain vigilant by
reviewing your account statements and credit reports closely. If you
detect any suspicious activity on an account, you should promptly notify
the credit card company that issued your card.
Your
credit card company should also protect you for any losses over $50 as
long as you report any potential theft as soon as possible. You should
also contact the three credit bureaus and place a free fraud alert
and/or security freeze on your credit files. Their contact information
is:
Equifax
P.O. Box 740241
Atlanta, GA 30374

This sounds bad, but it makes me glad I've never bought anything from them...
ReplyDeleteI've considered them before, but never pulled the trigger there.
I've never actually bought anything from them either, but I did make an account so they could send me some free boolits to review.
