yea got the same email from them and 6pm.com, says to change your passwords at the other sites you use it at but hell that is hundreds of sites and i dont even know what my zappos pw was.
 
Speaking of which, does anyone else's NT urls look like this http://niketalk.com/forums/15#.TxO7IPnmzIU ? Is that me being tracked somehow? Because I only notice it when I browse via my Sprint phone router and ALL of my accounts (email, social media) have been compromised multiple times and I don't even sign onto like Twitter and Gmail anywhere else other than my phone. Sprint has admitted they have software running in stealth mode that tracks and sends your info back to them, but even when you are using phone as router? Is there something I can download to know for sure if my computer is being compromised when online? I already have Malwarebytes and it never picks up anything
 
I just got another from twitter. What the hell is going on. Did any of you guys buy concords from the uk recently.
 
I knew what this was about before I opened the thread. Hope everyones account information is safe.

I think I need to get a pre-paid card strictly for web usage now... Too many sites being compromised. It's probably actually always been this way, but always swept under the rug...
 
just got it. damn

a big retailer site like that should not fail like that. that is disappointing
 
hm, only reason i even got an account with zappos was because they were doing that free 2 day shipping forever thing. never bought anything from them or entered any info. still going to change my password tho

i recently started buying greendot money paks to add money to my paypal account, i would rather pay the extra 5 bucks and keep my financial info offline. the only drawback is that some sites don't use paypal.

I've been saying this for a while. I'm def. going to invest in one this week.
 
Got it too. I love how these companies just email you saying "we *+%+%+ up your *%@#" and don't even give you a damn discount code or something to try and make up for it.
 
I get an email like that every 2 years.  Happened to my university too.  Most of the time they offer free credit check services and other stuff to make sure your info wasn't compromised.
 
Damn Damn Damn....at least I use my CC for online stuff, hope everyone's info is safe
