Ballistic Products Data Breech Letter

[Cold Spring]

I received the letter from Ballistic Products and it referred numerous times to an unnamed third party vendor that provides shopping cart and credit card functionality and had malware on its servers. No explanation why/how that happened. Since the present tense word was used it seems the same vendor still provides those services. So much for "negative consequences" for not having up to date protection against malware and hacking.

That credit card I used has long been cancelled and replaced, and I don't plan to do anything with the IDX protection services. I don't want any intrusion by cyber monitoring. Of course credit card info must be given for on-line orders and nowadays I'm certain to ask that my cc info isn't stored except by the largest vendors like Amazon. No guarantee that will be honored but if I get hacked again I'll deal with it at that time.
