Shotgun you are right sos was not hacked, the third party company has held there hands up to it (which we are dealing with legally) they said when they done an update last year on the payment by post they failed to check the security on them pages and in turn the pages were indexed now there were around 15 order conformation pages that were online, now the thousands of customer conformation pages we have were not indexed but if you used the link and change the order number at the end of the link this would of brought up the order with the the order number at the end of the link if that makes sense, this is why we shut the site down so these links would not work this left around 6 orders that were cached in google which most have been removed. Please also note Credit or debit card were NOT compromised as you only dealt with Sage pay through this process. Even though Sos had another company deal with the developing and maintaining of the site Sos has held there hands up even though they would never of known this would of or could of happened, We know we now have X customers due to this and completely understand, We would like to apologise to whom ever was at risk.
On another note we will not be using the site when we go live hopefully next week end we have been working on another site since last december with another developer so everyone that will use us again can rest assured this will not happen again we now have security measure's in place.
About the card problem we have been experiencing this is not unusual for seedbanks we have now got another facility in place as well as other payment options.
I hope this has answered most questions floating about....
Many thanks again for all the support we have had through this hard time
We will be opening with a one off 1 week promo to say thanks.
Peace out
Does anyone know how long this info was available? Been growing for a decade and am thinking I might have to give it up now because of this bullsh?t.
