Please give me a call at the shop so we can discuss and help you out with this. We've never had an issue with our website before so I'd like to become aware of how this happened and see if we can help catch this scumbag.

In my haste I put MTI's site to blame, and I am sorry I came off that way, because it may very well be that my computer was hacked. I'm just trying to figure out where exactly this all stemmed from, be it a failure on my end, or whether it was, in fact, a breach of security.
Better to find out if there was a security breach and deal with it now, then to let it happen again, right?
I'm sure you can understand why I'm angry, some jerk got off with my hard-earned money!
But I did receive a call from someone who presented themselves as a representative from Motorsport Technologies Inc. who needed to verify my purchase. How they knew what I ordered, my full name, billing address, cost, CC#, what car I drove etc. is unknown to me, which is why I am letting the reps at MTI know just in case.
Live and learn I guess, no hard feelings guys.

When monitoring packets to/from my computer to the site, and to the order form, I don't see anything strange.
Which leads me to wonder if this maybe was a one time occurrence, as I don't see any strange packets being sent when my computer is idle, or even while browsing. I'll keep monitoring my end, hopefully we can get to the bottom of this.
I guess CISCO was good for something after all
Any info yet David?
Just thought I'd let you all know how the search is going.

Your computer may not be as secure as you think - if you have put any mention of your car in a sig line or online showcase, *anyone* could have the information to what kind of car it was and "mods coming soon" list.
Considering there is no way to tell where the information was obtained so a gamer can slay +10 level Zombies it will take more than 2 hours for any company to find out if there was a breech, this thread should have NO more activity until the buyer and Sponsor can figure out what happened.
Thank you.
