Dear Customer,
Egghead.com has discovered that a hacker has accessed our computer
systems, potentially including our customer databases. While there
is no indication that any customer information has been compromised,
as a precautionary measure, we have taken immediate steps to protect
you by contacting the credit card companies with whom we work. They
are in the process of alerting card issuers and banks so that they
can take the necessary steps to ensure the security of cardholders
who may be affected.
We wish to underscore that we have taken these steps as precautions.
We have no information at this time to suggest that any credit card
information has been compromised. We are investigating this possibility,
and we are doing everything we can to proactively protect you. If you
would like further information, you may wish to contact the issuer of
your credit card to determine what steps they are taking. We regret any
inconvenience this may cause you.
We issued a press release on this matter earlier today. It is appended
