    Steve's posts is significantly above the numbers you noted.  Instead of 50% it seems it is likely closer to <1%

    if this is the case (i don't remember any number in this thread but i could potentiall skip it as there are many posts already)  it could be coincidential.

    Still,

    so let me have my doubts.

    As I noted above I have made multiple purchases in that time and yet I have not had an issue.

    And you payed through filling forms with cc data or through paypal? 

    I think common ground we all could agree upon is to never fill internet form with CC number and  - if  there is no other type of payment - use payment through paypal (this way we aren't manually filling any forms that could be potentially hacked with malicious code of some sort).

     Therefore, if our system had been compromised there would be more than a few handfuls of people reporting problems.  It would be massive.  Remember, I know how many people have placed orders in the past two months, which means I also know how to evaluate these credit card compromise reports in context.

    Website could be compromised by malicious code injection with some added timer (so it dissapear after -lets say -  6 months  after drawing out some data - just example but from this thread i see people with cc compromised making purchase in last few months ). 

     Proper way to handle this is to a) contact, if possible, all people which make purchase in last few months which didn't report here or  b) gain info if they had they cc compromised (maybe some of then didn't even notice as they have multiple cc cards?) and c) make decisions basing on results . This would give solid reasons to suspend yours backend systems or to let it go.

    If 500 peoples make purchase in last few months and 30 of them had their cc compromised that might be coincidence. But what if 50% customers, or so,  had their cc compromised? Still a coincidence?

    Your call as to what you are comfortable with, but if you saw 3 accidents in a row involving a red car would that make you never purchase a red car?

    You can make comparisions of any sort to reductio ad absurdum but the facts are:

    • multiple (at least 30) people had their cc compromised. 
    • all of those people have made purchase in battlefront store in last few months (some of them as late as December, none of them in January or later or i miss that?)
    • some of those people use their cc cards ONLY for battlefront games purchase 

    Yes we can't say 100% Battlefront site had security leaks, but if it looks like a simple coincidence for you, then there is no meaning in making any more arguments🤔. Battlefront has multiple cases which should be internally investigated and results presented.

    Once again, i'm a big fan all CM games starting with Beyond Overlord, I made multiple purchases in the past and i'd love to make anothers in the future, but i expect developer as renowed as Battlefront to approach to this matter seriously. I don't wish anybody this heart-racing feeling when somebody is trying to use your cc card, really.

    Hi, this is my first post here, im member of FGM thats why i'm not regular here, and just created account to post in this thread.Also,  I'm not a native speaker (Eastern Europe),  sorry for any linguistic mistakes.

    I bought FB and BN Big Bundle around Aug-Sept

    and i had CC breach on January 11th - fortunately they didn't get pass text message authentication as I would lose around 900 dollars, This is first ever CC breach in my entire life, and i'm very cautios when paying with credit card online - i let my guard down this time it seems 😕

    I've been wondering for many weeks how i get my CC compromised and i took wild guess it was atm scam (minicameras), but I've discover this thread today when lurking around and everything make sense now.

    Funny think i was planning buying SF2 but i will not till this case is explained. I know there isn't the case of any intentional wrongdoing on Battlefront side ,which provides with those wonderful games, BUT -with around 30 people with similar case- (all purchasing CM games from battlefront store, i guess in 2018), it would be desirable to at least hire off-site network security specialist to do some security audit and/or change payment method to avoid similar situation in the future instead of blurring discusion into chit-chat about online security. That would make current and potential customers calmer 

    regards
