    Exclamation Hunting and Fishing Web site has been hacked

    Just went for a look and the site is closed. I thought I would holla out in case some of you have been purchasing stuff online, it mentions checking your banking details

    They can't hack your pc/phone but may be able to log in to other online accounts that use the same password as your h&f account, and might be able to use credit cards that you had used on the website.

    I'm surprised they haven't made an announcement regarding a new site or similar. As stated above, the lost $$$ from not having the site up must be huge.

    They do not store your credit card details.

    Ok. I've never used the site. CC details could still be lifted by the hackers if you made a transaction while the website was compromised.

    Ideally the user details and passwords were well encrypted, but not everyone uses best practice. Aside from how shockingly shit their service is, http://www.top-gear.co.nz is another one that no one should ever use because their website is insecure as all hell.

    They 100% stored credit card details, and I would not be surprised if your FAL and home address details were also stored in their database. In the wrong hands, those details could be a lot more damaging than the leaking of credit card numbers.
