Problems buying BASH products
Posted: Sun Oct 11, 2015 9:22 pm
OK, a little background on this first:
For years, I've used DrivethruRPG.com to buy book downloads, including your products. A few weeks ago though, I was notified (by them) that they had been hacked and there was a risk our credit card data could be compromised (like 50%.) While they assured that measures were being taken about it, they also advised recent clients to change their cards. Which I promptly did.
Recently, I went to Drivethru to buy another BASH product (The ADEL file) and attempted to pay using my new Paypal account. But I got a "site blocked" warning from the Avira App on my Chrome Browser because of 'suspicions of the site being used for phishing'. I'm not clear, however, if it was referring to Drivethru or Paypal.
So I tried again using my Firefox browser. This one I had a different app installed on. I still got a warning, but only that is was 'an insecure connection'. I went ahead and bought the book anyway, with no ill effects so far.
Then tonight I bought another book (Amazing Powers vol. 4) the same way. Once again, same blocking/warning. I ignored it and bought it.
Still, I'd like to hear what you think. Do you think Drivethru is still trustworthy? Or is Paypal the problem? Or are the Apps being overprotective?
