Re: SSL leak at shopto!!

http://forum.shopto.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=4910

The original article that was then translated to german didnt even have shopto.net in it! Dont know where that came from. But these guys have been very open about everything before, so Im inclined to trust them. But it doesnt hurt to keep an eye out on your account

Just a quote from them

"THis is from a old article on 20th March, 2009 what has been mistranslated to german and put on a website.

As the original article this breach is nothing to do with Shopto.net and we take our security very seriously.

The orignal article is here which you will see has no mention of Shopto.net it is a generic 19k of cards found (22k in total). A defunct payment gateway(This could be Paypal, Protx, Visa, Mastercard and so on..) has exposed as many as 19,000 credit card numbers. You will also see that it includes cards like American Express that we do not even cater for.

We ask people to be assured their has been no breach in our security their just has in this case been a mistranslation from English to German and back again.

As a matter of course today we check as we always do everyday our SSL security and upgrade if and when necessary to do so. We found it prudent today with the alarm what has come out from a misinterpreted German article to just update the SSL as a matter of course automatically.

The original article before mistranslation from 20th March 2009.."

wether you believe it or not, is up to you.
