How many of you remember the craziness on AIM's site when it got overloaded during the 2013 panic? Every time you refreshed the site it showed different customers information.


I remember it well.  Hell, maybe we should sue them like little booby is going to do!  Yeah that's it, cause "they didn't protect their customers!"   I want Bryan and Tuna's asses standing guard in my driveway, pronto, in case the big bad internet boogeyman decides to do some big bad internet boogeyman stuff.  


Freudian slip?

Why do they need a picture ID for ammo purchases. Never understood why some companies need more info than the law requires.

Here is a thread Bryan posted in about two years ago verifying they were sued and as a result require ID.

https://www.ar15.com/archive/topic.html?b=2&f=217&t=244904

we actually got sued for not verifying the age of a ammo customer a few years back, now we require it.

Have a good weekend

I'd be interested to see some info on the lawsuit.  I was looking for something last night and all I found that was close was a 2006 thread from ARFCOM where it was a mix of people bitching about having to submit ID, people saying it was no big deal to submit ID and AIM employee Eric-AIM saying

We have to verify age (anything federal or state issued is fine) by law. We would never make up some story about needing your ID cause we were out of stock of an item. It would be much easier to just tell you it was out of stock.


I'm still on AIM's side, but this part seems off.

My guess is that was just a weird way of saying "we won't give you a BS or fraudulent reason of asking for a copy of your ID". I didn't open the thread and read the context it's just an initial impression.

 I just went to AIM's website to check my account.  Do you think they have ANY reference to ANY of this issue ANYWHERE?  I see the credit card security icon, leading me to believe these guys are secure.

Prospective customers shouldn't know about this problem, huh?  I would want to know that they to do not keep their customer's information safe.

They want to continue to do business first and foremost.  The rest is CYA.  Anyone discounting the fucked-upedness of allowing customer info on a WEBSERVER has never had their ID stolen or a victim of fraud.  Talk to me when you have.

Evidently everybody doesnt remember the suit over ID, I do and never had any heartburn about it. As TBS said, they found out, owned it, and went above and beyond to fix it- as Bryan et al have ALWAYS done in the past.





Friends are friends through thick and thin. They did the right thing, as they have for the Y E A R S Ive dealt with them on end. As Pontius Pilate said, I find no fault with him.





It is what it is, it happened, its over. A lot of places have my ID. The second they notify me the DD LPK is back in stock, Ill be ordering one from them.

It was more than just the photo upload that got hacked.

I just remembered when I bought ammo from them I didn't upload an ID. They emailed me a request for an ID and I emailed one back. So they either uploaded to whatever folder hey we're storing them in or more was compromised.

Not quite.  A perfect response would be started like :" I'm Sorry".

His statement more than likely was written by a lawyer, which the #1. rule in the business never admit guilt.

Meh. A lot bigger companies and various parts of your government have been hacked. This doesn't make AIM evil or careless. My credit is already locked down and yours should be to if you use a credit or god forbid a debit card online or in stores. I've been in the Home Depot hack, the Target hack,  others I can't remember and a couple years ago someone got everything, all the CC info including the security number and ALL my personal info, and applied for credit cards in my name to be sent to them. Luckily they were rejected because they tried to change my address on the apps. I got the rejections and a pair of little pink panties from Victoria's Secret that got sent to me when the address didn't change.

That last one was a LOT of fun. Getting a police report and sending copies of it and forms to all the credit reporting agencies.

are you mad at IRS? they lost 100's of thousands of tax payers data to hackers and did not even send you a love letter did they?



from CNN news site in 2014

Hackers have exposed the personal information of 110 million Americans -- roughly half of the nation's adults -- in the last 12 months alone.


That massive number, tallied for CNNMoney by Ponemon Institute researchers, is made even more mind-boggling by the amount of hacked accounts: up to 432 million.



The exact number of exposed accounts is hard to pin down, because some companies -- such as AOL (AOL) and eBay (EBAY) -- aren't fully transparent about the details of their cyber breaches. But that's the best estimate available with the data tracked by the Identity Theft Resource Center and CNNMoney's own review of corporate disclosures.


The damage is real. Each record typically includes personal information, such as your name, debit or credit card, email, phone number, birthday, password, security questions and physical address.

ID protection/credit monitoring is like a bugler alarm (at best).  Just freeze your credit and lock the door.  The AIM breach is fairly insignificant compared to what's been lost in other breaches, which you may not even know included you.
