When I tried to visit the Harmony Central site last night, I got a message saying their site was down, and a link to a twitter page with updates, which said they were working hard to fix some kind of problem.

I just checked again. Here is the latest update. "Someone without authorization temporarily gained access to the Harmony Central site" and "gained access to our stored member information." Their site is still down as they are apparently working to upgrade their security. They've been down for three days, which I would imagine is a significant loss for them.

As Harmony Central is owned/operated by Musician's Friend / Guitar Center, this may be b a BIG hijack: LOTS of credit card numbers floating about in there.

Still down; and apparently they're no longer bothering with updates.
