Geeks.com, a technology retailer, was hacked.

The part I find most interesting is that they have a "Hacker Safe" banner on the Web site, the site is promised to be "hacker safe" by a Web site named ScanAlert:

I just can't believe how hard it is to keep ahead of the hackers. Geeks.com was paying a company to test the site to see if it was hackable, and STILL got hacked and exposed customer's private information, including credit cards.
