Anyone buy ammo from AIM Surplus?
« on: April 29, 2016, 04:52:02 PM »
If you had your driver's license on AIM's website, you probably got a letter today.  Their servers that hosted their licenses was hacked.  Those affected got a letter today.  I never did buy ammo from them and never had my ID on their site, so I think I'm safe.

Sorry- late to the party, but I did order ammo from them a few years ago, so contacted them last month when I heard about the breach. They told me my info wasn't compromised, so apparently it didn't affect everyone, not sure what the parameters are though.

from what i know, if you had an ID uploaded to the site for age verification, you were hacked.  the banking, passwords, etc were not.  i never did get a letter because i never uploaded anything to their site.  i just put an order in over Memorial Day for some Apex Tactical stuff.  i will continue to shop with them.  getting hacked can happen to any company.
