My last order was also through Attitude but after finding out about people's personal info being leaked and apparently credit information last year I'm a little concerned.
I won't need to order seeds for a while anyway so my opinion of them might change again, I did get everything I ordered and quickly.
You make a fair point.
For my part, I just see it as an unfortunate incident that happened a year ago. There's been a lot of that crap going on lately, even in corporations that we never expected to be touchable, so it's easy to see why you'd be concerned over the credit info.
As for the info leak, I saw someone mention that the advertising company may be attitude's own (am NOT saying this is TRUE, just what I HAVE HEARD), which would explain it. If it's not, then they likely have a leak, or another breach. Either way, it shouldn't be a complete strike against attitude in my opinion.
Hackers are freakin savvy as hell man, look what they've been doing to Sony on their gaming network, and Sony is almost infinitely larger than Attitude. Truth is, just by doing business on the internet we leave ourselves vulnerable to them. To me, it seems to be just like driving... Everytime you sit behind that wheel, you risk having an accident.
If it turns out to be an inside job, well... that's a strike against them in my book. It's not that difficult to secure a computer from a physical human presence unless it was one of thier own techs that did it. That would make it a little harder to catch before it happened, but it would also make it easier to pinpoint where the breach occurred, too.
In the end, the risk of losing money on a confiscated shipment pushed me to the place where I could feel safe knowing that my seeds would arrive. If I didn't have to worry about losing my money, I might have gone through someone else.
