I just got a letter in the mail from fabric depot explaining to me that someone hacked their website around October, stealing credit card information. Personally, both cards I use have been compromised since Christmas. Luckily my bank is awesome and took care of me very well. I don't know if it's related but if you use fabric depot I would highly recommend looking closely over your past statements since October 16th. Keep an eye out in the mail for a letter from them.

On January 7, 2013, I learned of a data security incident that may have resulted in the disclosure of the credit card information, names, and billing address associated with your online purchase. Shortly after learning of the incident, we retained a forensic computer investigator, who determined that on or about October 16, 2012, an unauthorized third party gained access to our website and data system. We are taking additional steps to enhance the security of our systems. Such steps include changing our entire online payment process to have all credit card information submitted through our website collected and handled by trusted third party payment processors. Additionally, we have notified law enforcement and are cooperating with their investigation.
Unfortunately, the unauthorized third party may have obtained the first and last names, credit card and debit card numbers, credit card verification codes, and billing addresses associated with your account. Fabric Depot does not collect your social security number or date of birth.
We are notifying you so that you can be aware of this situation and take steps to protect your information from any harm, including contacting your bank and/or credit card company. It is important to carefully review your account statement over the next 12 to 24 months, and promptly report any suspicious transactions to your credit card company. Please review the information at the bottom of this email on additional steps you can take to protect your information.
We value your business and take the privacy of your information very seriously. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
