Late 2015 I caught an unauthorized $350 charge "pending" on my bank card. Went down to the bank, and put the Kabash on that, immediately. Bank and I called Abbot Nutrition in Ohio (Plover Wi based chain) reporting it was an unauthorized transaction. Those clowns in Ohio actually were going to ship to an address in Canada from my card from another state. The charge was terminated, my bank card terminated and replaced to one with a new account . Problem over.....As an IT professional, this stuff happens. Doesn't mean their security sucks per say. Companies learn from this and usually end up fixing the problem quickly. This could have been something as simple as a phishing email that someone fell for. Watch your cards and charges for a while and notify your CC company. They may issue you a new card. And yes this is the world we live in.
And if you have the choice to "store" you CC data for future use please decline. May be a pain but it's safer.
I had a charge from HSN (home shopping network) one time for $180 onot my debit card. My wife was a teller at the bank at the time, and caught it pending. I called them and told them about the fraudulent charges. They, at this point, still had the purchase in the warehouse, not yet shipped, but refused to cancel the transaction, and shipped it anyway. They told me to take it up with the cc company. Needless to say, I got belligerent with them after that, and told them THEY were part of the problem with fraud. In the end, they hung up on me, and I cancelled the card. Freaking thrives need to be strung up with a short rope, imoLate 2015 I caught an unauthorized $350 charge "pending" on my bank card.

Remarkably, They KEPT MY STOLEN ACCOUNT INFORMATION ON RECORD, and I was notified last week there was a breach. Thankfully, I already got screwed ( almost) by their lax ( nonexistent ? ) policies, and the number on record is no longer valid, from the first episode.
A.C.C. sounds like they got a bad break, but there's just as many clown operations out there.
Go to your account at Atlantic and check your orders, it will show the CC info.Received my letter a couple of days ago. I usually order from them about once a year since none of our site sponsors carry a certain box of cigars I enjoy. I have no idea what credit card I used, but I look over my bills closely. I'll update if I find any fraudulent charges.
