    Credit card info stolen

    Me and a friend purchased ak receivers from atlantic firearms and both of our credit cards info got stolen. They tried to buy over $2000 worth of things from differnt places luckily it was all declined.
    I dont know if the site got hacked or they sold the info but im 99% percent sure it is connected with Atlantic Firearms.
    Just giving you guys a heads up.

    Me too. Not used the card in a long time, last charge was here. Within 2-3 weeks charges for 1-25 bucks started showing up. Bank called me and cancelled the card, they intercepted it fast and recognized they were fraud.

      Mine was hit yesterday. Also bought from AF within the last 3 weeks. Maybe a coincidence though because I used this card everywhere.

            Atlantic firearms has always been giving a helping hand to CA, so I doubt they would sell the info.

            I can see them getting hacked, but I doubt they are deceiving their customers and selling private info.

                In the last two months we've had our debit card and then a Chevron card compromised. Easy way to prevent both, require the three digit code on the back of the card for every transaction and two put a damn lock on your stupid gas pumps so no one can install a skimmer.

                  We do not sell credit card info

                  We do require a 3 digit Code

                  We do require( AVS ) Address verification so the address must match the card or it will be declined.

                  We do not store or keep credit cards on file for customers

                  We do not take any phone orders so all credit card info is kept in the customers hands

                  There are only 2 people here that have access to the credit card processing that is the CEO and our Operations manager .So no other lower level employees could compromise this system.

                  There are a few other Electronic measures we take but do not want to disclose as it would tip off possible scammers.

                  While Nothing in life is fool proof we are very serious about security .

                        I've made a few purchases in the last couple of months from Atlantic on two cards i don't use and they both are now compromised. It's not their fault it's the times we live in. The card companies said they are seeing a huge uptick in fraud cases right now.

                          My capital one card got hit on the 20th but never used with Atlantic for purchases so I think it could be a data breach elsewhere. Lucky they contacted me right away because someone got declined twice trying to get bus tickets as well as clothing online.

                            Our company has several company cards and we have had 5 of them compromised in the last year and these are not used on E Commerce sites. We have also seen a uptick in attempted fraudulent card usage this year and see 6- 10 declined orders a day that appear to be scammers. The early part of this week we plan on a system wide review with our Encrypted processors to double check the system. We appreciate everybody's valuable input .

                              Just got a call from my bank this morning 10/23/2016 and I got hit with fraudulent activity on 10/22/2016. I did make a Layaway payment to Atlantic on Oct. 20 with the same card that got compromised. I don't plan on paying the remaining balance with another card on your website and I hope to I can complete payment of my firearm a different way. Atlantic please note also that login/register link and layaway payment pages are not "https" secure requests by default. An end user on your site has to put in "https" manually to make the transaction secure which to some folks won't notice. This should be fixed on your immediately.
