Default New Harbor Freight website has MAJOR security hole!!!

DO NOT USE IT!!!!

I went there and looked it over. Yes it's slow. They have a notice that
if you had an account prior to the 19 you need to sign up for a new one.

I clicked the account button to create a new account.

Instead of getting any type of account log in or sign-up page I was sent
to the account of a person who lives in the 914 area of NY. It listed
the name,address,phone numbers and recent orders for this person.

Thinking this was a glitch I tried to exit and reload the page.
It brought up a new page with the account information of a person in
Wisconsin!

I closed down the browser, flushed the memory and went back to the site
to see if I could get in. Went to the same "secure" section of the site
and tried the account button again. It took me to yet another members
account information!

I just sent the customer service an E-mail about it but don't know if
they will take action.
