Default Topps.com Security Breach - HACKED!!!!!!! (RE: Topps Now)

I just received this e-mail from Topps because I have purchased items on their site before, as most of us have.

Ridiculous. Smh. The shenanigans happened in October, and we are just getting this now?

Taking two months to notify buyers? That seems a bit irresponsible of them. I have bought from their online store a number of times this year and have not received the email.

It takes a while to realize the scope and damage of these things, seems to be a standard time-frame.

I already got hit and have received my new cards and everything- its just strange that mine were all Paypal Payments- I thought using them avoided this type of thing.

What are you saying here, you have had your accounts 'hit' with unauthorized charges?

Those that did not get the email are likely receiving a redemption

Wow this is annoying. I'm surprised they didn't offer some sort of discount coupon to those affected

Many people who were buying Topps Now got hit with this fraudulent charges earlier this year, as Topps.com was the only way to buy those cards (except if you decide to buy from eBay or other places later).
I also had fraudulent charges made to my credit card, and had to reissue it.
When I emailed and called them about it, and told them how many other Topps Now buyers were experiencing the same problem (looking at the forum here), they advised that they are aware and investigating the situation.
Then, this email is the first official notification they sent.

Technically they did. They offered to pay for one year of identity protection.

If you only used PayPal at topps.com, then your problems weren't from this breach. PayPal doesn't pass CC details to the merchant for them to store.

You act like this is 100% on Topps Fault, like hacks, attacks nothing like that happens. No site is 100% secure, hell blowout could be hit tomorrow would you then say its blowouts fault your log in to a forum was jeopardized? #@#@#@#@ happens, it really sucks, but I put very little fault into topps, its not like they want this to happen.

Makes sense, I never made the connection about how my cc was compromised, now I know why. Didn't receive the email yet.

Geez guys. This isn't a topps issue it is an national security issue. People sit at their computers all day and do this. Can't try to make this a topps problem it's a society problem.

I got the email too. I have used a mix of paypal and credit card at Topps site for the two or three purchases a year I make. I never saw any fraudulent charges on the credit card yet.

We contacted Topps about this on October 12th. The owner of BO was in a meeting with Topps when I alerted him about the issue and he brought it to their attention immediately.

That is what started their investigation.

It is all starting to make sense now. I made a purchase during that time period and the card I used i am currently having fraud charges investigated.

Has anyone not received the email from topps yet

I am still waiting for one and was wondering who I could contact
