Who is affected

  • Online store customers

Cause

Unauthorized access to systems by a third party, found after investigating social media posts suggesting customer data had leaked

Timeline

  1. Investigation started after social media posts; sites suspended
  2. Service suspended
  3. Service restored
  4. First disclosure

Response

  • Service stopped
  • Forensic investigation
  • Notified individuals

Sites suspended and reopened after security was confirmed; affected customers contacted by email; considering a police report

What you should do

  1. Don't open links in emails from this company. The apology email itself may be fake
  2. Treat refund or apology calls and texts as scams. Call back only on the number from the official site
  3. Watch for unexpected mail or invoices; your address is hard to change
  4. Check the company's notice to see if you're affected

Lessons for companies

  1. Report to the PPC: preliminary in 3–5 days, final in 30 (60 if malicious)
  2. Run red teaming and AI-assisted hardening, and publish how much you invest
