Blowout Sports Cards has been hacked! First reported by Sports Collectors Daily in April, word of the attack is slowly trickling through the hobby.
Credit and debit card users from January - April 20, 2017 could have been impacted.
One collector got hit for $30,000 in fraudulent charges!
The response from Blowout has been weak at best. Some are reporting they have discovered fraudulent charges without getting notice from the company.
Blowout even banned an impacted customer from their forum after the user made numerous complaints about the lack of communication regarding the hack. Yikes.
Company owner Tom Fish was last spotted at the Topps 65th Anniversary Party with $50,000 worth of invites.

The high profile attack of the Topps website should have put eCommerce stores in the sports card space on notice.
Clearly Blowout Cards dropped the ball and the nightmare stories from their customers are starting to pour in.
If you own an eCommerce website, including a group break site, get your website secured now or this could happen to you!
