This is a heads up for everyone who has bought from Ballistic Products to check you card statements for fraudulent purchases recently. It sounds like a bunch of people got emails on this, but not everyone. I did not get an email, despite dealing with them for years, and two recent purchases, and recently had two cards info stolen. I then saw this warning online. I called and confirmed that Ballistic Products is aware of it, and they are dumping all saved info. So check your statements. My first was my debit card two weeks ago. They slacked and allowed four fraudulent purchases. Luckily I got that money refunded after a police report and an affidavit. The second was today, one of my two credit cards. That one was caught right away, no more harm done other than now I get a new card.

The purpose of this email is to make you aware of a data incident experienced by one of our third-party vendors that may have resulted in the disclosure of payment card information of some of our customers. The vendor of this service has launched an independent investigation with the help of national cybersecurity experts. At this time, we have received only limited information as the vendor’s investigation remains ongoing. BPI and our vendor take the security and privacy of your information very seriously and regret any inconvenience this may cause you.
Our vendor has informed us that it is working with the payment card brands and law enforcement authorities to better understand the scope of this incident. We were notified that payment card brands may be cancelling and re-issuing certain payment cards. Please note that BPI does NOT directly collect or store payment card data in our own computer system. We employ and rely on offsite vendors to safeguard this data. Accordingly, we do not yet have access to the information required to determine which specific cards were impacted and, therefore, we are unable to provide any additional information about those impacted at this time. We anticipate receiving more information from the vendor concerning specific customers who may have been impacted, and we will notify those individuals upon receiving such information.
We appreciate your patience in the coming weeks as our vendor and industry experts work through this complex situation.
Sincerely,
Ballistic Products
