Thanks for the heads-up, Steve.

I just checked my credit card account and there hasn't been any unauthorized
activity so far so maybe there won't be a problem with it.

If we can't trust HF for high-quality tools and high security, then who can we
trust?  :>)

  The thing is Alan that what I was seeing would have been ALL of your
  info. As in credit card numbers, mailing and shipping addresses, current
  and past orders and anything else that you or they had placed in the
  account file.

  So if I had been dishonest I could easily grab the above info and start
  spending your money.

  Oh and FYI if you ordered prior to the 29th the tracking information and
  ordering info is probably wrong. Seems like they found more than a
  couple problems from what the person I spoke with today was telling me.
