Hi Chris,

We have contacted and spoke with our web hosting service provider. You are correct in that they have confirmed that a few of our customers' information has been leaked from their servers. So thank you very much for contacting us before this problem had happened to more of our customers. This is a very unfortunate situation and I am deeply sorry for the inconvenience and trouble caused as you should not have to deal with this type of problem.

They have their site administrators looking into the problem as we speak. We were assured by our host that all secure information is strictly confidential and unreadable by any 3rd parties. We now have decided to take more drastic measures of security into our own hands. We have since kept our programmers up all night encrypting all sensitive customer info stored on our site for past orders and future orders made, which is now complete. This makes all sensitive information scrambled and unreadable to any 3rd party.

The problem is now resolved as our encryption methods are now in place.

Again, we deeply apologize for this intrusion of your privacy.

Kind Regards,
Chris
