Speculation on other sites is that they have been hit with a ransomware attack--just a rumor at this point.

"no customer financial information was impacted".............yeah sure. Keep an eye out if you deal with them.

If they are a part of that huge attack, the info was attained.

Well if they steal my credit card info, I'm not reporting it. Because the thief will be spending less at Famous than I was . . . .:noon
