While it does mean a loss for Neocodex, it's nothing that we can't recover from. However, we need to beef up our security around these sorts of things. We blogged about a similar issue nearly six months ago. Back then, we put Maxmind.com fraud prevention in place. Today, we've changed some of the rules regarding how we deal with fraud to hopefully prevent situations like this in the future.
One of the changes we are making is that we are now going to require full billing addresses when you purchase items from our store. Many of you already use your full billing address in the store, so this won't affect you at all. I just wanted to let you guys know in case you started seeing errors that you didn't see before.

Note: the theft occurred some time ago. We've just been a bit slow in announcing it . Personally, I've been incredibly busy at work .
