I did buy something from them a while ago. I think CanadaAmmo needs to come out here to let the community aware.

Yes, it is possible.
Most likely, believe it or not, the information is sold to scammers who will now target you with phishing emails or phone calls to actively scam you. They will use the knowledge of your address, credit card number and so forth to try to make themselves look official. Most likely they will try to spoof Canada Revenue Agency official correspondence because it is tax time!
Biggest advice for anyone who thinks they were in the hack: do not reply to ANY email, letter, mail or phone call from someone at this time. Make sure you ask for a reference number and then call that agency or company back on known numbers. Do NOT say the word Yes at any time, do not agree to anything. Only ask for a reference number. They will be insistent. They may threaten police action.
Also get your free once a year credit check in about 4 months from TransUnion or Equifax to check for issues.
The chances of an identity theft is low because that takes some work. It is easier for them to contact you and scam you with your permission.

thanks for posting this, I hope most people excercise good cybersecurity practices and use different passwords for every account, password managers are pretty much a requirement these days since everything forces you to make an account. This is also exactly why I hate the policy of some retailers in requiring copies of driver's licence's to purchase NR firearms, not only is it unnecessary and not legally required, but is not safe practice imo. I avoid buying from any place that would require to do so.

I HAVE been getting a lit of phishing texts lately pretending to be various Canadian banks. Literally in the last couple weeks.
I'm getting pretty tired I think i'll go hit the sack... Then maybe go to bed
Two pages worth of questions during mid-week and zero response from CanAm!? The silence is deafening!! Delete, edit, delete, delete...they are obviously unworthy of my trust.

Just saw this thread. I have not heard this info before, but will investigate immediately
Yes even the big guys can be dumb. Sony Entertainment stored CC numbers, names and addresses in plain text for ages until the massive data breach a few years ago.
