Woolworths Data Breach
GroupSupport is awaiting confirmation and further updates about the Woolworths Online Hack that began being reported last week.
“Millions of customers’ details have been exposed in a major data breach at an online shopping site owned by the retail giant Woolworths.
The company says a compromised user credential was used to get access to customer information from the MyDeal website.
MyDeal was in the process of contacting an estimated 2.2 million customers who were affected in the breach, the Woolworths Group said in a statement.
The details exposed included customer names, email addresses, phone numbers and delivery addresses, as well as birth dates for people who had to verify their ages when buying alcohol.
In the case of 1.2 million customers, only their email addresses were exposed.”
