BFG Statement 2/10/15
BFG stated they discovered on 1/12/15 involving the theft of payment information from their online stores. An unknown criminal installed malware on the billing and payment pages of their websites that had intercepted customer payment information for purchases between 12/24/14 and 1/8/15. Your name, address, payment card information including the card number, expiration date and CVV2 code may have been among the information accessed. BFG is stating your information could have been affected if you entered new payment details during this time and may not effect those using a previously saved profile. BFG has stated that they have taken the steps to remove the malware and prevent it from being reinstalled. Also stated they have reported this to law enforcement and credit reporting agencies.
I take this to mean if you were a member during this time it may not have affected you. To me there are just to many May Have's or Could Have's. I just wanted you all to be informed on what had happened in case you didn't know. I also know we are spread out and some of our friends don't come here. Please feel free to copy this information if you wish to and share it with your friends on the other forums you go to in case they don't know. Would appreciate your help, thanks.
