Iris Plaza Breach May Have Exposed Data of 7.7 Million Customers
Hackers may have stolen the personal information of 7.7 million people from Japanese online shopping platform Iris Plaza.
The incident, says household products and appliance manufacturer Iris Ohyama, which operates the platform, was discovered on October 28.
The Japanese company immediately suspended Iris Plaza, disconnected related systems, and launched an investigation into the attack.
Of the 7.7 million individuals potentially affected, 5.8 million are current and former platform members who had their names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, gender information, and encrypted passwords compromised.
The remaining 1.9 million individuals are non-members who had their names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses compromised. They include people who made purchases without registering on the platform.
Iris Ohyama says the hacked external cloud service does not store credit card information. No store operated by Iris Plaza has been affected.
