The online shopping site from Australia Catch of the Day revealed he was hacked by hackers at the beginning of 2011, who managed to bypass passwords and credit cards.
The company informed its customers today Friday that the people who carried out enrollment on their website before May 7, 2011 should change their passwords.
“Στις αρχές του 2011, το Catch of the Day και άλλοι online έμποροι λιανικής πώλησης ήταν οι αποδέκτες μιας παράνομης εισβολής στον κυβερνοχώρο, η οποία ήταν αιτία διαρροής ονόματων, διευθύνσεις παράδοσης, διευθύνσεις ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου και κρυπτογραφημένων κωδικών πρόσβασης. Σε ορισμένες περιπτώσεις, they leaked and credit card information. Other websites of our Group were not affected," the announcement to the customers of the website states.
"At that time, we immediately informed the police, banks and credit card companies that helped us take action to protect our users, about actions that included canceling credit cards and launching investigations into the perpetrators.
"We have also informed the Australian Data Protection Commissioner."
The company said it was notifying its customers today to change passwords because "technological developments" indicated that there was an increased risk of password leakage.
ZDNet, which first published the story, says the company's representatives did not respond when they tried to contact them.
