Go to: http://www.knoxnews.com/business/16600.shtml
for details.
Don't panic yet. It sounds like none of your credit card info or "other sensitive" personal data was compromised other than customer's names, phone numbers and addresses.
Apparently a Harvard University student reported this problem on Thursday afternoon, and it was reported that Buy.com fixed the problem within 3 hours of hearing about it.
Just thought I'd warn you folks, in case any of you are concerned about your phone numbers or addresses getting out.
