| According to Marston, the hackers were able to access the unsecured list by
| trying a large number of variations of the website's administrative URL. He

| them of the breach and urging them to change their password anywhere they may
| have used it. No credit card information was stolen, and the site has since
| been completely locked down, Marston said.
