texte = We put a small WebCat site online about a week ago. Orders have been coming in steadily and everything has worked very well. Today I received an order for a product priced at $1,999.95. The email verification (thankyou.txt) and the order file both show a price of $1.00. I just bought the item myself and the price was as it should've been.My concern is that someone was able to hack pricing, although I really can't imagine how. I've flushed the database files and verified that the price in the database is still correct.I'm looking for ideas as to how this may have happened.
