The announcement on the homepage was not made by the hacker.

He has determined that our site has been in fact clean since 1/6/12 and that no malware, etc. was coded into our site.

I also received a shady booking (1$) on my credit card from a company named "ATT". My bank notified me, since they knew this company checks with small bookings if the card is valid to commit further frauds. My bank blocked the transaction, locked my card and send me now a new one. Since I only use my card on Amazon and Steam otherwise, this must come from RHS. I nearly ordered a EZ-Flash, but didn't commit the order since the shipping fees to Germany were too high.
Something similar pretty much happened to me. I woke up to check my account in the morning to see my direct deposit only to find charges from something called Beatport draining my check. I called BoA, they straightened some things, and then I sat waiting only to find out there was some random $1 ATT charge some time ago also. Long story short, I have a new card coming through and I've been refunded the amount I lost as of this morning.
I just spent my free time backtracking where I might have used my card and forgot all about RHS... I find it lulzy that a little Google search lead me straight to my favorite online community :)

Thanks for not making me feel alone GBAtemp!

So before 1/6/12 the site wasn't clean?

Damn, I purchased from there around mid-late December. I really hope my info wasn't compromised, otherwise I'm fucked.

man... that's too bad...
I really hope that no one ripped you off
though it would go a long way towards proving the existence of karma ;)

Guys same thing happened to me. I put an ordered on the 29th of January. When I went to confirm my purchase on it wouldn't go any further. I had typed up all of my credit card info and I kept clicking confirm and nothing happened. SO I'm guessing that the website is still compromised. My credit card company called me yesterday and said that I had multiple unauthorized transactions and I also had a $1 transaction by ATT. I cancelled my card immediately. And I have to call them back again for further details on the transactions. I'll keep you updated.

The hacker obviously planted the message on the site just so more credit cards could be compromised. I bet cynful09 is on it.

that is a pretty ridiculous unfounded bit of bullshit you typed there. i'm not defending RHS or claiming to know what happened, i am simply stating the obvious by adding that the next time you think its a good idea to post something... pause... and then delete instead.

Not bullshit, just opinion.

Not bullshit, just opinion.

your "opinion" was not written as such and you never stated it was your opinion and that you did not intend to cause harm to a pretty reputable company. RHS has been around for a long time, they have always made good on any mistakes (like offering to replace damaged cards, or cards the chinese wholesalers said were legit but were not). when you openly call them out by saying they were in on the hacking, you are doing nothing but attempting to tarnish their respectability. whats worse, you did so without any facts, without being an involved party member, without an understanding for the full situation, etc.

you can try to come back with any words you choose, however we would rather read an apology for your mistake and a promise that you will not attempt to misinform the public through ridiculous claims in the future.

I got hit.

Bank caught it right away though. Someone did a $1 AT&T charge, and then a $5 iTunes charge....likely to test if my card was active. My bank doesn't mess around though, they shut it down over the random $1 AT&T charge.

F RHS. Learn to secure your site losers.

Thought they were bigtime enough not to worry about this shit...

Wow that's unfortunate! When did you order? Can't believe they said their site is secure if people are still getting hit.
