Butiksjätten hackad – kortuppgifter läckta

Den amerikanska butikskedjan Macy’s bekräftar att man utsatts för ett dataintrång som inneburit att bland annat kreditkortsuppgifter tillhörande kunder läckt ut. Intrånget ska ha skett i oktober och pågick under en vecka. Det är i nuläget oklart hur många kunder som berörs, men enligt Macy’s så ska det handla om ”ett litet antal kunder”. Kedjan har nu stärkt säkerheten ytterligare och erbjuder de kunder som vill gratis kontroll, så att deras kort inte används av någon utomstående.
