They may still be compliant and storing your credit card responsibly, I would assume they used Stripe or similar and they're only sending the last 4 digits back over standard http. If they're allowing you to add a new card, then there's an issue.

Looking like they sold their customer data over to fly maids or whoever was behind them. Surprised they were able to actually transfer the CC info. When I was at a company that was selling off assets, the most we could do was give them customer email addresses. I have serious doubts about the legality of this.

My old Homejoy login doesn't work on that site, and doing "forgot your password" gives an error of "user does not exist" for the email I used with Homejoy.

They're probably not porting over accounts by default, but rather waiting for users to express interest by clicking the link in the marketing email.

From the original post:

> Worst still, as I navigated around the site I realized the email link I clicked logged me into “My Account”. This screen had lots of my personal information, home address, email, even my credit card number.
