It has been reported that Geeks.com is sending out an emails stating how confidential customer information, including credit card numbers have been obtained by an outside individual.

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that Genica dba Geeks.com (“Genica”) recently discovered on December 5, 2007 that customer information, including Visa credit card information, may have been compromised. In particular, it is possible that an unauthorized person may be in possession of your name, address, telephone number, email address, credit card number, expiration date, and card verification number. We are still investigating the details of this incident, but it appears that an unauthorized individual may have accessed this information by hacking our eCommerce website.

So, if you have ordered from them recently, or as far back as the past twelve months, take note of this.
