I just got a letter in the mail from AIM Surplus stating that "an unauthorized person was able to gain access to certain images that had been uploaded to our website... that customers used to upload firearms license and documents for age verification..." For me this was an image of my driver's license. I called and asked them specifically what they did with this and if I recall correctly (and I think I do) they told me they looked at it to verify the order and they didn't keep it. Well, guess what, they kept it and they lost it. I am a programmer, and I asked them knowing what could happen, and they did not do what I recall they said they were going to do with the information.
They are offering a year subscription to ProtectedMyID. This type of information can be bought, sold, and traded for years to come.
Obviously I am not doing business with them ever again. I just wonder if accepting this free subscription is somehow "settling" with them so that if something does happen they are off the hook?
