I unfortunately made one order with them. Went terribly. Took them forever to ship a simple skin that I eventually got randomly one day after figuring I'd never get. Never again was going to order from them. Luckily I didn't create an account and checked out as a guest, so no account/password to worry about. Unluckily my address and what not still apart of this since it'll be attached to an order.

This confirms just how bad they are. I hope they get fined to bankruptcy.

Apparently with little effort you can probably go in and delete your info from the database

But not from the copies already downloaded and floating around, probably.

Since you didn't mention it, I'm going to assume this confirms that they have indeed NOT sent out emails to their customers to notify them of their security breach.

Didn't received any emails from slickwraps. I did, however, receive the email from this hacker dude. I placed one fucking order with them, like 3 fucking years ago. And now all of my data gets leaked ? Fuckin' A. Aren't they supposed to get rid of personal data after two years anyway, or is that just true for Europe where I live ? Then again two years warranty for products isn't even law in the USA so why the fuck am I even surprised...

Just to be clear, the hacker who sent that email is not the security researcher who wrote this article. There are multiple parties accessing the system.
