Just received a letter in the mail stating that they were hacked and ID's uploaded to verify age were compromised.  So, per the letter, any information that was uploaded (your drivers license information) is compromised.

They're offering 1 year identity protection.  

This comes off the OPM hack that I received a letter about.  

Just an FYI as I suspect some of you may be affected.

Letter from AIM?

Sounds like a sales pitch or phishing scam if it wasn't.

Awesome.

I haven't received any notification yet. Tag for verification.

AIM was the last online vendor I submitted my ID to years ago. I stopped dealing with businesses that have such policies for just this reason.

They don't ask for anything and they give you information where to check your credit (the big 3) and thevFederal Trade Commision, Consumer Response center.

It's the reason I have never bought ammo from them. Buying shit online already has enough risks.

Have not received any notifications about a hack from them.

Waiting to see if AIM will chime in here or in their Industry forum.  I buy stuff from them all the time including ammo.

I got the same letter. I'm currently using the OPM credit/fraud monitoring so I'm wondering if I need to go through with this monitoring also.

Same.  Nobody else requires a copy of your DL to buy ammo.  It bothers me enough that I've never purchased from them, even though I've wanted too.

I don't necessarily think we should blame AIM right off the bat.  Hackers gonna hack.

I will say that I don't buy ammo from anyone who requires a copy of my DL.

Bought ammo. from them in the past but it's been awhile. Already have ID monitoring for this reason but damn they need to drop that policy before customers drop them. Other companies don't require this ..you just check a box confirming you are of legal age with no legal impediments and done.

You can't be that dense, can you? If they only worried about you, and not themselves, they wouldn't be in business.

Been a long time since I purchased ammo from them. I haven't gotten an email yet, so I'm hoping they purge DLs every few years.

I purposely don't buy ammo from them because of that stupid fucking requirement.



Never understood making customers jump through hoops for something that isn't necessary by law.

If they didn't force customers to provide an ID this would not be an issue.

And I know people are going to say don't buy from them blah blah blah, that's bullshit they should be watching out for the customers not pushing them away because of BS ID crap.   And, if the customer is willing to trust them then they should take steps to guarantee the info is protected.
