Welcome to ReaperMini.com!


Attention! Very Important! Please Read!
(Yes, you!)


An international group of professional hackers has used a new exploit to grab the encrypted user information of at least several dozen companies in the US. This attack targeted all of these companies respective eCommerce sites. Among these companies is Reaper Miniatures. This puts us in the elite company of Amazon.com and Microsoft, so I guess we've finally "made it".

These criminals are demanding an extortion fee to prevent them from making sensitive user information public on the internet. They have told us they are able to decrypt our customers' credit card information. We cannot verify this fact, however it is prudent to inform our customers of this possibility so they may take appropriate action.

We will not succumb to their threats, and are instead going to our customers so they can take appropriate actions to protect themselves.

We are in contact with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies to deal with these criminals. We have taken our store offline while we evaluate any existing threats.

In addition to this news bulletin, we will be emailing and calling any customer this issue may have affected. For correspondence regarding this, please direct all queries to hotline@reapermini.com.

Please do not call us directly, rather email with any questions. We will respond to your email messages in a timely fashion in the order in which they are received

This is not a joke

Amazon.com? Bugger, they have my CC. It sounds a bit weird, though. I would expect this kind of new to be all around the internet. IIRC, California law would require the firms to inform their customers there, so they can't keep it hushed. Anyone's got an article link or something?
 

I imagine they meant earlier hacks of those other, bigger sites. Not that they were hacked at the same time ReaperMini was.
