Important News to Bits of Ivory Customers

This note was sent to Bits of Ivory customers today:

This weekend we found out that our website had been hacked. The hacker redirected customer payments to his own PayPal account rather than our Bits of Ivory account. We are closing down our store at http://www.bitsofivory.net/store and will re-open with a newer, more secure shopping cart in a few days. You will be able to access this new store from our www.bitsofivory.com webpage if you are interested in purchasing artwork in the future. Fortunately we do not store any of your financial information on our site (which is why we process payments through PayPal) - so none of your credit card or PayPal information has been compromised.

We are unable to transfer customer information to our new shopping cart, so you will need to re-register at our new shop if you wish to order from us in the future. Most of our artwork will be making the move to the new shop, though several of the clearance items will not. Newsletter information will also not be transferred, so if you want to keep up with what is new at Bits of Ivory we encourage you to subscribe to our blog (www.bitsofivory.com/wordpress).

We will be adding products to our new shop over the next few days, but several of our newer sets are available in the meantime in our Etsy store - bitsofivory.etsy.com.
