I'm local, anything I used from them i bought from the Stalbridge warehouse.
Next?
I suggest you Google www.Badatabreach.com
The days of companies spending **** all on data security are coming to an end, expect many many cases going to court in the near future no win no fee, it is ten times bigger than PPI. Funny how people are happy to let it slide when it comes to mickey mouse fishing companies but kick off if it's a big national company, the same peronal info is being stolen whichever.

The likelihood and chance of success of legal action depends on the nature of the data lost. The big British Airways data breach a couple of years ago included credit card details and full addresses and contact details. The CCM breach is email adresses and encrypted passwords for their website. Hardly ideal, but less serious in comparison.
Data breaches are more common than we think. Some companies don't notify people at all.

Quite right but how do you know it's only passwords etc? How do you know if they have credit card details etc stored? I bet your address crops up without your input when you order.
It only takes one case to start the avalanche, your last 7 words are why it's going to be the next no win no fee claim zone.
I'm sure Ian will be along soon, just as quick as he was when his pop up's got a slagging, hang on this started in December so may be not.

Too many folk dont realize the implications of having their financial info stolen in this day and age.

The above should open your eyes.
The fact they knew about this in December but only let their CUSTOMERS know now is disgusting.

I was told when I called them what data was leaked and was categorically assured it didn't include payment details as they don't store them. I was told that this is all in the breach report to the ICO. Now, you could say I only have their word on this but they'd be pretty crazy to lie to the ICO, and why would they bother reporting it at all if they were then going to lie about the details. Not everything is a conspiracy!!
You're right about data breach claims becoming a big no win no fee business, but I suggest it'll only be for much bigger breaches than this.

Your last line is incorrect, a breach is a breach whether that be Apple Inc or CC Moore, the same info is required to make a purchase and the same info can be stolen.
Why the **** do people keep giving fishing companies a free pass, it's all the same FFS. Funny thing is the big boy's take this stuff seriously, i bet some of these mickey mouse bait and tackle companies just have an XL sitting on their main frame waiting for a Russian to sell it to the Dark Web

My God you have an issue with this
Are you registered with CC Moore? If yes someone one has your email address and possibly your password, nothing else as was explained in the email in post 1. Change your password and move on, life is to short and there are more important things in this world.

What people have to think about is a lot of people will have same email and password for all their other logins on other sites, may be even PayPal and online banking. This is why these people target small shops, companies as their security is likely to be poor unlike Amazon so changing your password on just the ccmore website won't help if you one of these people as the hackers will already have access to what they want not your ccmore order history.

If you use the same password all the time that is not CC Moores fault!
CC Moore is a family owned and run business and they have done the correct (and legal) thing. They are not some faceless plc owned by fat shareholders that are only interested in maxim return on investment. I have dealt with Ian Moore on and off with my bait making for over 20 years and he has always been helpful and honest.
I just don't understand in this thread why everyone is jumping up and down to slag them off when I bet 90% would not say it to his face
the person that did phone them up got an honest, helpful (I think) and quick answer to his questions.
I say well done CC Moore for sorting this out.

Not blaming ccmore at all just explaining how this may affect some people if the use the same password combination.
They will not be the only retailer that needed to up their website security now or in the future. Customer need to do their play their part too and change their passwords regularly and have different password for each login if not you will be at risk of loosing money at some point.

I'm sure they are a decent bunch, but when you make wild claims that it's not their fault (their contractors or in-house I.T dept fault) that there was a vulnerability on *their* site, that's just bolloxs mate.
We might not be talking about the NSA or GCHQ level being haxored, even so, and the fact that we've only just been told about it when it happened late last year at around the time when there's a flood of people buying stuff from then up until the end of January....my sceptical antenni are a tingling, you know?
But hey, shills are ganna shill, amiright?

In chatting to a mate this morning he told me that a MAJOR tackle brand and another large bait brand also recently suffered breaches.
He says in both cases he was told this by employees of those companies. I'm not naming them as the info is 3rd hand but surprised we've not heard about these (unless I missed it, possible!). Shows that we don't always get told.

"Done the correct thing" yep that's right, they told everyone weeks and weeks after it happened
