Simple Auctions Hacked Again

[jfkheat]

It looks like Simple Auctions may have been hacked again. I just checked several auction sites that are hosted by them and none would open, including the Simple Auction site. Goldin is down. If they have been hacked again I'm sure several of the auction houses will be looking for a new home.

They keep having issues and have yet to move to a different auction host.

You’d think they would have moved on awhile ago because this is embarrassing.

Is there a viable alternative?

Getting pretty old. There are other choices. Not sure why these houses are putting up with this and subjecting their consignors and buyers to it.

How has Bob Freedman never made a public post on this board regarding whether the thousands of people registered with the auction websites on his platform had their personal information compromised by the first "hackers" weeks ago? He finds time to post his memorabilia pickups but can't address this issue?

Stolen data briefing laws are almost universal now in all 50 states. I would venture to guess anyone who would have had personal data breached will be notified. Yeah it sucks not knowing (I’m probably registered at 20 SSA affiliated sites) but:

A) Most data breach notifications go out months after the initial attack, when the full scope of data stolen is accounted for.

B) If any data was stolen, by law the effected parties will be alerted.

C) They were probably advised not to discuss it until the above notices are posted.
