Is anyone here local to a FSS store? The website has been down since at least Tuesday.

I received this in an e-mail from them last night:

Speculation on other sites is that they have been hit with a ransomware attack--just a rumor at this point.

"no customer financial information was impacted".............yeah sure. Keep an eye out if you deal with them.

If they are a part of that huge attack, the info was attained.

Oh wow. Thanks for the info.

Well if they steal my credit card info, I'm not reporting it. Because the thief will be spending less at Famous than I was . . . .
