Unhappy Eurocharged Website Hacked

I just was going across websites and decided to go to Eurocharged's and it appears they have been hacked by someone. Hopefully financial information and whatnot was not compromised. Just thought I should put this out there.

Hopefully they were only showing that there are loopholes in their security and not out for destruction.

Pretty good chance that's all they were doing. Most thieves try to avoid letting you know they were there and that you got taken.

Damn! Guess I won't order their Heat Exchanger from their E-store now! I'll just call them and order it over the phone.

By the way, just spoke to Jerry at EC and their remote laptop/tuning kit was broken by a customer so I can't re-tune my car after I put on the 180mm pulley as he recommends against that. No ETA on the fix yet for the laptop as it's in Italy now.

Sucks, I wanted to install the 180mm pulley on Monday!

Lol. And you believe that story? Let's see the "master tuner" Tony gets fired after blowing a few motors and now the tuning computer is "broken in Italy"

Some hackers do it for a ransom depending on what kind of data they were able to take. Hopefully that is not the case here.

They could have gone in and just reduced prices for us for a few days or something fun like that!

Sorry to hear about their site getting hacked. The innernets are such an integral part of many company's business and that downtime, security with online orders, and lack of exposure can be seriously damaging.

Hey guys, thanks for the patience while we work through this.

We are hosted on godaddy, and it seems like they had a sql injection on their grid system.

We will keep you informed of the progress.

And sorry alextaylor, we have 5 remote tuning kits. The only one that was not out at a customer was accidently broken (screen) by a member here. It was shipped back to italy to get repaired.
