Security breach at ft86speedfactory.com - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

lamune · 01-12-2016, 07:15 PM

Saw this on the ft86 and subaru subreddits today and thought I'd pass the info here as well:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ft86/commen...eedfactorycom/

https://www.reddit.com/r/subaru/comm..._bank_account/

Quite a few folks saying they saw some frudulent charges on their card... Personally, I've used paypal when I purchased from them and have not seen any thing suspicious..

Mods, sorry if this isn't in the right section and please move it

Well, isn't that just dandy.

anyone who ordered from those sites in that time frame. this forum doesn't have a place to enter your CC info so you're good

Got this in the mail today. Explains how my card got nabbed a couple months ago.

PandaSPUR · 01-12-2016, 07:47 PM

ooh damn.

justatroll · 01-12-2016, 07:47 PM

This is exactly why I:
ONLY use paypal.
Have paypal attached to a spare debit card that only has very little money in it at any given time.
I transfer funds when I feel like buying something.

My son will enter his CC info into every online vendor he feels like buying from.
THIS is exactly why I tell him to stop that.

Using a debit card is actually a worse idea. Its harder to make fraud claims and get your money back.

I actually prefer using my CC over PayPal for online purchases because PayPal's dispute process is longer than any of my credit cards'.

Its hard to steal someone's identity without DOB and SSN information as well anyway. And no online retailer should be asking for those things.

Finally, your card info can be easily stolen in real life: evil waiters, evil cab drivers, infected card terminals.

Has ft86speedfactory/subispeed came out and said anything about this? It's not looking that way from the local FB group I found this in, or either posts on reddit. If this is the case, they've lost me as a customer. That's completely unacceptable. I personally didn't get hit, but it seems like a bunch of people did. Making their customers aware of what happened early on could have gave them time to cancel their CCs and not have to deal with disputing fraudulent charges.

Lonewolf · 01-12-2016, 09:35 PM

Seems like no vendor or store is immune from this crap anymore...

Why use a debit card when you can use a credit card with zero fraud liability and the chance to earn cash back, miles, or points?

I believe they sent out actual letters to people who have used their site during that timeframe. though, I think it would have made more sense to send out an email about it so that everyone receives it ASAP.

Ft86 speed factory probably didn't know until the claims started rolling in

Thanks for the info. I just informed my buddy who ordered some parts recently. Most of the time a merchant does not know that they are part of a security breach. Hackers/fraudsters are savage. Nobody is safe!
