I have sent PMs to a few of the people above but here my official response is.
Sorry, but I’m not going to share a link to the info just because I would prefer for less people to know about it. If you have purchased from IO your: full name, address, phone number, email registered with them, paypal email, paypal transaction ID #, IP address, shipping option, currency paid in, and a encrypted version of your password are all on it.
Sorry,
David
Yeah, this isn’t good. I just Googled and quickly found a 32 megabyte SQL dump file of what is probably their entire database, still available on their site.
I just edited their BLF rating page and removed the “Recommended” badge…
Yeah, someone has really screwed up in their case. Thanks for doing that, I was going to suggest it anyways. ;)
meh…. i should probably change all 308,938,392 of my online passwords now right?
its been a while since i changed everything… i dont use the same thing for everything though… i recently changed my intl outdoor pass because i forgot it … but who knows when the sql dump is from
Well that sucks, I didn’t use a password that is used elsewhere and my info is all over anyways… I’m not really worried but it’s still disheartening to see this happen in what used to be a moderately trusted business. Such is the reality of the web nowadays, things are never completely secure (Which is why I’m never completely trusting, least here on the webs).
I do, actually. It’s clearly labelled with the date of the dump. I won’t mention it here to avoid making it easier to find, though.
ok… i guess its time to change my passwords just to be safe then
As a BLF member who has purchased from the company, I would like it if someone would PM me the method, or link to access my data that they are saying is on the internet, and which they are looking at.
And as BLF member who thinks it is for the best for as few people as possible to know about this stuff, I would encourage anyone who found it to refrain from doing that.
I’m still waiting on that phone call, scaru, your no fun… :bigsmile:
I do hope that someone has enough integrity to pm me the link rather than patronize me and treat me as an outsider.
Brad, I offered to send you your information; however I still feel it is best not to share this. If I give you the link than I have to give it to everyone, and then the bots will pick it up.
you got my phone number? text me S)
this is bad news though, really…
We would need your name or address or email to get that, this is because you never registered as Pulsar over at Intl-outdoor. (Checked ;) )
Ok, I just talked to Hank and the place where I found it has now been taken offline. :D
Makes me glad I have not shopped with them yet. Was going to but didn’t get around to placing my order. Makes me NEVER EVER want to shop with them in the future. Don’t need the risk.
The problem is an easy fix and it should be fixed by now… The webmaster should have known better, yes… It was a pretty serious oversight by them.
After my one and only purchase there I was sent a password via email to check on my order. That password is used nowhere else so that’s okay right?
Yes, but your name and address, email, IP address and probably the order details are out there.
So is there a loaded gun pointed at my head or what? I haven’t a clue what I’m supposed to be worried about or what I should be doing about it.
