On March 9th, we were made aware that someone had recently gained unauthorized access to a database from thehalloweenspot.com servers that handle our shipping application.

We were contacted by our wholesale vendor about a breach and want to reassure you straightaway that no passwords, bank or card details have been accessed, or ever can be. We do not store nor have the ability to store your Card details.

The attacker used a hacking software to gain access to a folder on our server that stored our website files and images. One of which had access to an old shipping information database backup.
We have reported this leak to the Texas Attorney Generals Office as required by law.
