WARNING! HDTRACKS.COM SITE APPEARS TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SECURITY OF CREDIT CARD INFO

Read this thread at Computer Audiophile for more info:

http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/WARNING-HDTRACKSCOM-SITE-APPEARS-HAVE-PROBLEM-SECURITY-CREDIT-CARD-INFO

The short story is that HDTRACKS.com was informed approximately one week ago that they have a security breach on their site. Over a dozen cases of fraudulent charges to credit cards used at the HDTracks site have been reported at Computer Audiophile. In some cases, the fraudulent charges have been almost immediately after use. The customer who broke the story had cancelled one card after it was used at HDTracks, among other sites. He then used the new card ONLY at HDTracks and had another fraudulent charge appear. After he reported this, several others came forward to say that they had also been victim of fraudulent charges after purchasing items at HDTracks.

Meanwhile, HDTracks has done NOTHING thus far to notify their existing customers of the potential problem, NOR have they prevented further problems from occurring by either warning people on their site or simply shutting down their credit card processing and insisting customers use Paypal. They did post a response on the CA thread in which they say they are looking into the matter.

It may be prudent to check your credit card statements if you've used a credit card at HDTracks. If you have your credit card number on file at HDTracks, you may want to remove it.

There is an unconfirmed report that fraudulent charges from use of credit cards on HDTracks site may have occurred as long ago as last December.

If you have had fraudulent charges after using the HDTracks site, please let people know by posting here, or on the CA thread.
