Just received a letter in the mail stating that they were hacked and ID's uploaded to verify age were compromised. So, per the letter, any information that was uploaded (your drivers license information) is compromised.
They're offering 1 year identity protection. 
This comes off the OPM hack that I received a letter about. Just an FYI as I suspect some of you may be affected. |

Letter from AIM?
Sounds like a sales pitch or phishing scam if it wasn't. |

Awesome.
I haven't received any notification yet. Tag for verification. AIM was the last online vendor I submitted my ID to years ago. I stopped dealing with businesses that have such policies for just this reason. |

Have not received any notifications about a hack from them.

Bought ammo. from them in the past but it's been awhile. Already have ID monitoring for this reason but damn they need to drop that policy before customers drop them. Other companies don't require this ..you just check a box confirming you are of legal age with no legal impediments and done.

You can't be that dense, can you? If they only worried about you, and not themselves, they wouldn't be in business. |

I purposely don't buy ammo from them because of that stupid fucking requirement.

If they didn't force customers to provide an ID this would not be an issue. And I know people are going to say don't buy from them blah blah blah, that's bullshit they should be watching out for the customers not pushing them away because of BS ID crap. And, if the customer is willing to trust them then they should take steps to guarantee the info is protected. Motherless F...........s |

I don't know why they store the images of your license(s). If they absolutely must have them, why not check a box on their end in the database that you are valid once they receive the image, and then delete the image?
