I am sorry this happened to you.. and I agree -- even though I got my money back-- I still felt violated - knowing someone had my info.
I hope you get it resolved quickly.
Someone on tumblr and/or reddit claimed LC let its SSL expire and that is how the security breach happened.. and supposedly that is VERY cheap to maintain.. if that is true -- that is messed up. Doe is creative, for sure..but she really needs to hire someone to run her company..and also someone to handle PR. She is just not cut out for running a company, IMO..
here is the jezebel article where they talk about the allegations:

Here's another interesting read about LimeCrime hacking situation from an internet security site.

It's unfortunate it took a situation like this for her to update her site security.
I hope Doe takes this as a learning experience

...geez that link... There's nothing like dressing up like Hitler for fun to scream 'shitty human being'. I know that a lot of companies have shitty human beings running them, some are more hidden than others but...its definitely like going down a rabbit hole of awful.

As terrible as this is (and it definitely is) I honestly don't think this will be what makes them fold. Unless she doesn't properly handle things from this point on. It will however make people a lot more cautious about their online purchasing behavior (as far as what methods they choose to use)...especially with smaller brands. That might be the only "positive" out of this. I just hope everyone affected can quickly get their stuff straightened out. Nothing worse than being violated.

lolol guess what came in the mail today??
i got a long letter siged by 'mark dumbelton, president.' is that her husband? it offers me free fraud/id theft protection through experian for a year and apologizes. i felt like it uses slightly 'jagon-y' language, and this person is most like who wrote the newest responses on ig.
also- the lc return mail processing center on the return address is from portland, oregon.

I got a letter as well. I also thought it was strange that the address was based out of portland.
Well let me go check my mail then!

Probably cheaper to be incorporated there then in California. Lots of business are incorporated in states other than where they actually operate out of. It's a tax plus for businesses and pretty common.
