Yeah, my CC got poached from this, too.  My CC company caught a bunch of bogus charges and contacted me.  I will never buy anything from Nashbar again.

I'm steering clear as well... I'd love to see how much they lose in sales/customers from this one.

I sent them a note saying that this has greatly eroded my confidence in doing business with them in the future.  The response I got back was something to the effect that it will be addressed in a letter.  I think they have no clue on how deep they were penetrated or how much customer information/credit cards were stolen.

If they want to save their customer base, then they should be offering incentives otherwise this could be grounds for a lawsuit.

It's sad, I didn't buy much there because honestly most of it is junk/crap that other stores couldn't get rid of.  But I got to say over the yrs I have purchased a few of their own name branded Photocromatic riding glasses and have been very happy with them for the 20-25 bucks I got them for on sale. Used them as safety glasses at work for years too because they were light to almost clear inside.Git a couple of other Nasbar branded items ($4 head band for one) that I was also happy with the product and it's price.

Oh well,  their loss!  I think everyone who got their card hacked should sue them though!  :evil12:
