Recently (end of June or first of July) I ordered a part from boats.net for my '04 FZ6. Yesterday I received a letter from them informing me that some malware had been inserted into their website, targeting the shopping cart area, and that my personal information may have been compromised.
I think that is indeed what happened, because subsequent to this my credit card company notified me that a couple of attempted purchases using my card had been made. They stopped them, cancelled my card, got me a new one etc. so all is OK now.
I am impressed that boats.net would contact me to tell me this. Perhaps there are new laws requiring them to do this? Regardless it seems to me that is the right thing to do, to tell customers of the potential problem.
This incident also affected partzilla.com. Anyone else receive such a notice?
