My awesome wife got me a few upgrades to my collection of brewing equipment for Christmas. One of them is a bench capper that can be mounted with 4 bolts/screws. I was thinking about mounting it to a hefty block of wood so it would still be portable. My wife said that print makers at art school...

Well said. I sent this to my old Public Relations Theory professor to put in his next case study text book. That whole class was nothing but good and bad examples of PR.

They sound so on top of it in the media. Check out this Public Radio article: http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display/web/2013/09/03/home-brew-supplier-hack Why does the headline say "possibly" breached?

Found this gem of a news article about it from Esecurityplanet.com: http://www.esecurityplanet.com/network-security/midwest-supplies-suffers-data-breach.html Love the commentary at the end: A couple of more articles if interested...

Unbelievable. I am the original poster that brought this situation to light on July 6th (same day my Dad called Midwest) and was in contact with Midwest multiple times until they made a public statement on this board on July 8th: My guess for the reason Midwest is using the July 19th date is...

To add to your point....The vast majority of e-commerce sites today are run off of open source software. So once an exploit is found it can be replicated site-to-site pretty quickly. People who are not in the industry may not understand how assimilated web development has become. Someone asked...

Are there any hop varieties that can handle the hot rainy climate of southeastern NC?

I have a couple of problems with the "your on a beer forum, of course Midwest is a common denominator" argument: 1) Where are the posters that have had fraudulent charges on their card since the week of July 4th (like those in this thread) that have said they are not Midwest customers. If this...

I am with a local credit union. My dad is with a national credit union. I've seen various other banks mentioned in this thread.

No reason to have such notifications on our wholesale distribution catalog site that does not accept credit card transactions.

Well I certainly hope that you plan to determine the full scope of the problem. 13 Midwest customers on this thread having the same problem in the same 3-4 day time period and you don't think they are related? Credit card fraud does not happen so frequently that a post on this forum would result...

One of my charges was to Sears as well. There is no way this is a massive coincidence.

I have never placed a phone order with them where someone could write them down. I trust websites for secure transactions way more than calling any customer service. There have been a number of eastern European cyber criminal attacks this year where they quietly compromise a website and record...

Just wanted to let everyone know that I have had multiple phone calls from MW today from their customer service team including their customer service manager regarding this issue. They assured me that they do not store credit card information and that even their managers are not able to login...

This thread has had 586 views (100 are probably mine) and so far there are 10 MW customers that have had their credit card info compromised within the same 4 day period. In my 13 years of credit card ownership and purchasing online, I have never had this happen to me before. Not sure how often...
