Gunauction.com data breach

Post by Grayling813 »

Hackers steal gun owners’ data from firearm auction website
https://techcrunch.com/2023/03/02/hacke ... bsite/amp/
Hackers breached a website that allows people to buy and sell guns, exposing the identities of its users, TechCrunch has learned.

The breach exposed reams of sensitive personal data for more than 550,000 users, including customers’ full names, home addresses, email addresses, plaintext passwords and telephone numbers. Also, the stolen data allegedly makes it possible to link a particular person with the sale or purchase of a specific weapon.

I just received a firearm from one of their auctions a couple of weeks ago. Crud! I have received no notice.
