Dear Ed
TDIParts experienced a breach to its data files on March 16, 2009. As a result, credit card numbers were copied from our site. Although we've found out how the cards were stolen and fixed the problem, you're receiving this email because we've identified you as a customer who has used a credit card number to purchase from us, and we show that credit card as still valid (not expired). If you've purchased via PayPal, already canceled your card, or if your card has expired then please disregard this message.
If you do have a valid credit card that you used to purchase with us, please contact your card provider immediately. Tell them there's a fraud risk with the card and ask them to replace it. This will protect you from any future risk as a result of this incident. The card number you used for the purchase ended in these four numbers: XXXX.
We've taken a number of steps to prevent this from happening in the future. As of March 26 we only store the last four digits of credit card numbers on our site. And we've added new software to monitor our site both for vulnerabilities and hacking. As a result, we believe the site is safe, and you should be able to make purchases with confidence that your data will not be compromised.
I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. If you believe you've experienced fraud as a result of purchasing from us, please report it to me at
peter@tdiparts.com. We've reported this incident to the FBI and local authorities and want to provide them with a list of affected individuals. Most credit card companies provide protection that relieves you from any obligation to pay fraudulent charges. But if you've experienced any financial loss as a result of this event please contact me.
Thank you for your business.
