GoGrid Hacked - Personal Information Leaked
I received a letter today from GoGrid, its rather long so I'm not typing it out. Basically it says that their system has been compromised and personal information has been exposed.
This includes...
Name, Address
Email Address
Full Credit card details, excluding CV2.

Quality. Was it an email? If so you should copy/paste it just to verify you're not trying to smear them.

Maybe time to reconsider offering clients to use credit cards at all, imagine if some of the clients decides to sue the company :p

Bad times. Seems to me like companies need to start using partners who know their stuff when it comes to holding payment details — can never have too many layers of security for this kind of thing. Leaks like this seem to occur far too often (and these are the only ones they TELL us about), with our dear old WHT being a prime example.

Actually it's called CIM from Authorize.net With their CIM you store the card details on their servers and they send back an ID. You cannot pull the card details back out, only process transactions into your bank account with it. It's a great way to lower your PCI requirements.

Exactly the reasons I never wanted to deal with credit data.
Even with PCI approved security. I do just fine with Google Checkout and Paypal. Let them deal with the hassles of credit card fraud and security.Chris Walker

I'm still trying to figure out why they even had my personal information to leak, I asked them to cancel my account over a year ago and to remove my mailing address and card number. I understand there is certain information they need to retain for a period of time but 1. credit card numbers are not it and 2. don't tell somebody you've fully complied with their request when you haven't.

I also received a letter from gogrid a few weeks ago (email and physical letter)
On monday this week I got a call from my bank saying they had blocked my credit card due to some unusual activity and were sending me a new one.
So I guess my credit card details were stolen.

That's fine, tell me. Don't say you've fully complied with my request to expunge my information from your records if you haven't - that's called lying.
Companies everywhere are compromised every day. Just the other day I also got a letter from the Texas Secretary of State saying they had a breach where my information was exposed too.
