Geeks.com loses customer data in hack

That article says CVS were stolen??? I work with a small local company, and as we work on improving our billing system, it is highly illegal to store CVS's! As in, serious bad ju-ju. The fact that they're storing it disturbs me greatly.

CVS?

The 3-4 digits on the back of your credit card.

****. I used to buy there way back.

On the other hand, they display a MCAFEE hacker-safe logo. No wonder they got hacked. Mcafee aint ****.

I have been reading about this issue for quite a while. I am also a customer of geeks.com, since they do have very good deals every now and then, and still to this day have received nothing from them about it. I am not sure whether it is true or not, as I don't believe most of what is posted in a few places on the internet. On the other hand, it could be true, but as far as I know, they do not store the CVS, as the site has made me input it every time I have ordered from them. Also, my bank will let me know if there are any charges that seem out of place on my card. I know this, because they have let me know about this when I was moving from Oregon to Arizona. I had received a call on my cell phone to let me know there were charges all the way down the I-5 which to them seemed out of place.
