["Fergie" <fergdawg () netzero net>]

Oops.

[snip]

A musical instrument and sound gear Web site that advertises its relationship with artists such as Dave Matthews, 
Carlos Santana and Mary J. Blige notified some customers that their credit card information may have been stolen.

The warning, which came more than a month after someone broke into Bananas.com, was delivered Wednesday after The 
Associated Press inquired about the breach. The San Rafael-based company said none of its celebrity clients was among 
the 274 people notified.

Web site operators still are trying to determine how the intruder gained access. Following the discovery, 
administrators changed passwords and added other safeguards to restrict unauthorized access to the system, Bananas.com 
owner J.D. Sharp said.
