AIM Surplus Hacked - Customer Information Breached

From TFB

"On April 26th AIM Surplus sent a notice of data breach to the state of California regarding a breach of their image database that occurred on April 4th 2016. This database housed images of customer names, images of their firearm licenses, and documents used for age verification. Many US shooters have purchased something from AIM surplus and are affected by the breach, I myself fall into that category. At this time there is no indication as to how extensive the breach was and how far back the data goes. The notice did state that no payment information, order history, or account information had been compromised, only the names of customers and their state IDs."

I have purchased from AIM in the past, as of yet I have received no contact from them as to the security of my Personal Identifiable Information.

  1. We just got a letter from Aim about the data breach. The document they have on file for us is a copy of drivers license. They offered us a free year of credit reporting and monitoring from a company like Lifelock.

  2. That's weird, they've never even asked me for verification. Although they do have my USAA AMEX card on file. However USAA already monitors that stuff for me.
