DO NOT USE IT!!!!

The new site has a MAJOR security issue.

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.
Thinking this was a minor 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.

I would say this is a problem if it is only one machine that can do it.
Oh and by information I mean the persons
Mailing address, Shipping address, Credit card number, order
information, personal settings, E-mail settings, reorder and
cancellation info as well as the ability to change any of the above!


All the same stuff that I would expect to be able to access as a

Thanks for the heads up.

Hmmm... I haven't been able bring up any leaked info using Safari on my
Mac. However, I've never had an account with HF either... so I guess I
don't have a dog in this fight.

HF's administrative and technical contact phone, address and e-mail info
can easily be had by running:

harborfreight.com

through:

http://www.whois.com/

I was going to just post the contact info here, but then had second
thoughts... all I need now is HF brass snapping up my ass.

If HF had any of my info, I'd be on them like a starving Chihuahua on a
pork chop.

Hope no one gets burned...

FTC: Web Site Security Seals Are Lies
Retail Realities: The Federal Trade Commission Proved What Most Suspected:
There's Nothing Behind Those Seals


(CBS) This column was written by Evan Schuman, the editor of
StorefrontBacktalk, a site that tracks retail technology, e-commerce and
security issues. Retail Realities appears every Friday. Evan can be reached at
E-mail and on Twitter.


The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) last week screamed "the Emperor has no
clothes" by reporting to consumers that one of the largest firms issuing
"Verified Secure Breach Protection" seals doesn’t really verify much at all. The
practical impact of the ruling for E-Commerce sites is unclear, both because the
FTC has little authority to enforce its rulings and because consumers have
typically been impressively apathetic about security and privacy issues.

The settlement against five-year-old ControlScan said that "contrary to the
statements" ControlScan made to retailers, the company "in many instances
conducted little or no verification of the privacy and/or security protections
for consumer information provided by companies displaying its Business
Background Reviewed, Registered Member, Privacy Protected and Privacy Reviewed
seals. Instead, in many instances, ControlScan provided the Registered Member
seal to a company that failed to qualify for the Verified Secure seal because an
electronic scan of its Web site identified an actual or potential severe
vulnerability on the Web site and permitted the company to display the seal
indefinitely while taking no action to assess whether the company was working to
resolve any vulnerability identified by the Web site scan."

That last charge is particularly significant because it moves these accusations
beyond mere neglect (they never bothered to check) to true, all-American lying
(they checked, found bad stuff and gave them the seal anyway, as long as they
paid their bill).

I get the create new account page, using Firefox 2 on a Win98 PC (but
it's backward and upside down inside a spiffy Mac G4 case)

Ouch! That's a security risk!

I get an invalid security certificate due to wrong url and being

found for contact us, store finder and other. Order from catalog does
nothing.

The website stopped working altogether.

My thinking is that they purchased the software from the same place
where they buy their stuff for sale, namely from The People's Noodle
and Best Precise Instrument Factory And Website Development
Corporation of Dunginbung, China. I hope that they did not pay as
much.

I'm glad that I have never registered with them either.
