Shop Ruger data breech

[RSIno1]

Just saw this on CalGuns. It said the malware has been in place for 2 years. https://www.myinjuryattorney.com/data-breach-alert-sturm-ruger-company-inc/

August 19, 2022 – Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc., reported a data breach after the company was targeted in a recent cybersecurity attack. As a result of the breach, the first and last name, shipping address, email address, payment card number, expiration date, security code, billing address, gift certificate number (if applicable), description of the product purchased, price, and quantity of certain individuals was compromised. On August 18, 2022, Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc., sent out data breach letters to those individuals whose information was affected by the breach.

Poopy.

Well, since I didn't get a notice,, I guess my info is safe?

Well, since I didn't get a notice,, I guess my info is safe?

Wow. Your mail delivery must be quicker than mine. I wouldn't expect to receive an August 18, 2022 letter until late September at the earliest.

 

[contender]

I guess I was thinking they would email us about this since it's time sensitive. Maybe not huh?

 

[WAYNO]

That's the first thing I thought too, I hadn't received an email so I must be okay.

I'm not sure if I've bought anything in the last couple years from them. I might have. But I sure wouldn't trust an email that told me of some data theft.

 

[RoninPA]

I have bought from them recently so I expect a letter oulining everything. A month or so ago I got (through USPS mail) a letter from Numrich, they had a breach also and explained what happened and what to do to mitigate any problems.

www.myinjuryattornrey. Sure sounds like ambulance chasers making mountains out of a grain of sand for profit.

Most companies I have had that type of notice from send a mailed letter sometime after the fact informing you about the breech and telling how to monitor your financial accounts that could have been compromised.

Letter arrived today….

 

[PeteC]

Yep, arrived today

Thanks for posting. Fact that no one seems to have tried to use the information for 2 years makes you wonder who or what entity gathered the information. Since apparently not using it to steal money, what are they getting out of it?

Unless it's pretty sophisticated malware (like government-sponsored kind), you'd think Freestyle would be checking for that and using protective software.

Just opened my letter. Seems they’ve done everything they’re supposed to. As usual, the info wasn’t stolen directly from Ruger but rather from their processing company.

 

[Kevin]

I also got a letter today. Now it makes sense that 18-24 months ago my credit card was stolen/used.

 

[WAYNO]

I received the dreaded letter today.

 

[sharpblade7777]

I got my letter today as well.

 

[GLASSMAN]

And I.

 

[T.A. WORKMAN]

I got two letters, both the same.
Well if they steal my identity that's one way to clear up any outstanding warrants!

Last order I made with Ruger‘s Store was 2013. No letter yet.
