    Read it however you want.

    The many "in-stock" threads on Arfcom are why it's generally people on arfcom.

    wideners website was compromised by a hacker and credit cards stolen. they finally posted an admission on their website.

    i notified them back on march 13th. guess they should have taken me more seriously.

    i suspect more than their credit cards were stolen, as i detected it by getting spam to the unique email address i use only for wideners. so i suspect their email database got stolen as well.

    They are a pretty specialized e-merchant in the bigger scheme of things in the Internet world--I wonder how vulnerable other firearms-related sites are; many of them appear to be rather low-tech jobs.
