Anyone else use Chiltern seeds?

A notice on their website
Quote
Yesterday we experienced a sophisticated cyber attack on our website. This caused the website to crash and some customers have received unsolicited emails purporting to be from Chiltern Seeds. The attack has been reported to the police and our team have been working through the night.
 If you have received an email purporting to be from us telling you that you have won a hamper, please IGNORE THIS AND DELETE THE EMAIL IMMEDIATELY. This is a spam email and it is NOT from us, we would NEVER send emails asking you to click on any link other than to our own website.
 Please be reassured that payments on our website are 100% secure and that we do NOT hold any payment information on our website or server. If you are in any doubt, please give us a call on 01491 824675.
 We really appreciate your support at this difficult time and hope that you will continue to enjoy the best service and the best seeds, as you have done for the past 40 years.
 All the Team at Chiltern Seeds.

Yes, I have Chiltern seeds and did recieve above warning but didn't recieve the mail stating I won a hamper :-)
Hope they manage to catch the cyber-pervert, it's a real bummer to have your site attacked.
It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it

Same as above, but think it's good that the company bothered to contact everyone to warn them.  Other companies have similar problems but don't warn their clients of the scam emails that are circulating - probably becau there a so many of them that it's impossible to keep up!
