Music Web Site Bananas.com Says Breach May Have Exposed Some Credit Card Accounts

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A musical instrument and sound gear Web site that advertises its relationship with artists such as Dave Matthews, Carlos Santana and Mary J. Blige notified some customers that their credit card information may have been stolen.

The warning, which came more than a month after someone broke into Bananas.com, was delivered Wednesday after The Associated Press inquired about the breach. The San Rafael-based company said none of its celebrity clients was among the 274 people notified.

Web site operators still are trying to determine how the intruder gained access. Following the discovery, administrators changed passwords and added other safeguards to restrict unauthorized access to the system, Bananas.com owner J.D. Sharp said.
I know why J.D. is perplexed.... he thinks MACs are invulnerable.
I'll bet it was a disgruntled ex employee.

Serves them for keeping the data on a web server. I NEVER cache credit card data, I always offload that onto the gateway folks like authorize.net
When will E-tailers learn??:confused:

LOL. well, if I had that sort of skillz, I wouldn't waste time with small fry.....j/k

Nawww, I wasn't fired. I left for another band job. They still send me consulting and third party install work. I heard the report on the radio yesterday and then looked it up and found that report above.
He (JD) is a big Mac-ophile and I'm sure he felt immune to intrusion. The fatal error in most break-ins, cyber or otherwise.
