Update: December 28, 2011 12:00PM Eastern

We'll be issuing a complete analysis soon, but it appears that the breach affects approximately 40,000 people, including roughly 7,000 credit card numbers. We've notified specialforces.com.

Original Post:

Last night Identity Finder became aware of a breach of Specialforces.com, purportedly including names, email addresses, passwords and credit card numbers. This follows a breach of a similar nature on the same website earlier this month. Identity Finder contacted Specialforces.com on December 14th and again today to alert them to the breaches.

We are performing a detailed analysis of the breached information, but so far it appears that the breachers have posted thousands of credit card numbers, email addresses, and passwords. We will post more information here as it becomes available.
