I never got an e-mail from them saying that they have been hacked.

Just watch your credit cards for strange charges.

And yes, its pretty funny they still have the secure site stuff posted around when they were just hacked!

I read an article saying they have lost that cert on numerous occasions. As soon as they patch up, they get it back. Perhaps the day in question, they missed one.

Well, don't know if it is related to the Geeks or not, but I just had a strange $95 Fed-Ex charge appear on one of my cards. It has been reversed by Fed-Ex (soon), and the card has been reported stolen.

So far has been easy to resolve. Hopefully nothing else appears, and I'll be watching my cards CLOSELY for a bit...
