Fun Publications has sent out a message to all Transformers Club members this weekend notifying the members that there was indeed a security breach related to their e-commerce database.
In a written statement sent to members, Brian Savage says that "Fun Publications has determined that there is a security issue with our e-commerce systems."
Citing that members' information submissions assisted in determining the flaw, Mr. Savage also says that the source and the extent of the breach is currently unknown, but that multiple parties are assisting in finding out the source of the breach.
He apologizes for the inconvenience this breach has caused and suggests that members continue to be vigilant on their credit cards and activities on accounts with similar login information (Tformers Community member Robimus Prime says that his PayPal account was also compromised).
Also, consider maybe replacing any cards that may have been used to make a purchase on the club's store within the last year.
We at Tformers appreciate Mr. Savage's announcement here. While Fun Publications was previously not forthcoming, we believe they provided a reasonable explanation why they were not originally willing to do so.
As Mr. Savage says in the released statement, nobody should be out any money in this breach. Keep an eye on your bank statements and credit card transactions by checking once a week to ensure that they are in order.
If not, please contact the respective organization immediately to ensure that everything is resolved as quickly as possible.
