    They can't hack your pc/phone but may be able to log in to other online accounts that use the same password as your h&f account, and might be able to use credit cards that you had used on the website.

    They do not store your credit card details.

    They 100% stored credit card details, and I would not be surprised if your FAL and home address details were also stored in their database. In the wrong hands, those details could be a lot more damaging than the leaking of credit card numbers.

    The email they sent out to recent customers said that the set had been hacked and potentially credit card information had been taken, then there was a guy reporting that he had some dodgy activity on his card he was trying to sort out with his bank. Check your statements for transactions from russian or china or bloody jamaica mate

    That clears it up, if you were online at the time of the hacking then your info could be gathered, but I will check in work Tmo , and see if they were correct in telling us info is not stored. Luckily I don,t buy off them on line.
