Somebody has apparently stolen credit card information through Nashbar's website:

I found that NASHBAR has finally acknowledged the problem and is sending out some sort of correspondence to its customers after receiving months of complaints. A little too late, if you ask me. In other forums I found that NASHBAR is allegedly allowing third parties to access their customer's information in an unsecured environment.

* People still post to Wreck.Bikes? Nashbar security problems (That's a different "Fritz", not me).

Bike Nashbar was hacked and all credit card information was comprimised. I called Nashbar about this credit card fraud and their call center could not have been less helpful. Never again.

Had a problem with fedgrantusa.com fraudulently charging my card...turns out they're using the stolen nashbar numbers. I've found multiple complaints from people about them who were also linked to a nashbar purchase. :( I like Jensonusa a bit better anyhow.

Nashbar admits they were hacked and is notifying customers (slowly):

Bike Nashbar actually called me to tell me that they had been hacked.
