Default Videogamesplus's turn

Some of you might already have gotten a similar email from
videogamesplus.com...

"Please be advised that we are currently investigating a security issue.
As a safety precaution we are recommending all customers please login to
their accounts and change their passwords."

....Have they all sold their databases this January and are looking for a
way to explain any paths back to them for future spam?

....And so far I've gotten 4 of these emails, so if it's not a security
breach *something* has definitely gone screwy with them.

My order history there says I ordered one thing in 2004 and another in
2005, but they have my up-to-date address that I only moved into in
2011! How?
