Ah I see how this works.
Hackers: we demand £100,000 or else
Angling Direct: we don't have that in stock at the moment. It's on back order with The Bank of England.

Also with most companies, the cash handling is handled by PayPal, sage, apple,visa or whoever - so they don't hold card details anyway.

Not sure if it's my internet connection is playing up or something is happening with Johnsn Ross too. I get on the site ok but picking bits out to add to my basket is showing some server errors.
Although it may be everyones gone to their website as they can't get on Angling Directs

If the one thing that comes out of this is people learn to use Johnson Ross rather than Angling Direct, then these hackers have no idea what a service to humanity they carried out this weekend. (Assuming the hackers aren't Johnny Ross, now there's a conspiracy theory for you)

Seems they have sold all customer information off. They've taken over the Twitter account too.

I prefer Johnson Ross anyway so I'm good lol
Is looking more and more serious by the day though apparently sold off all customer's information apparently, don't no how true it is but they have definitely already taken over AD Twitter account

Looks like AD have been injected with some kind of hormone . . .
Website down / Facebook down / all the Midlands shops down (vm or call out)
Spoke to a nice chap in the Swindon branch, one of the only shops with a working phone line . . .up and running again by Weds they reckon . . .
