BigCommerce app breach spills Master of Malt customer data
Attackers had four days to drink in names, addresses, emails and phone numbers
Hackers breached Master of Malt's customer database via a compromised ecommerce app, gaining access to names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses for four days. The online alcohol retailer, Master of Malt, alerted customers after Ribon, an app connected to its BigCommerce store, was compromised. Using a BigCommerce application key held by Ribon, attackers accessed customer data between September 13 and 17, though passwords, credit card details, and payment information remained safe.
Master of Malt stated they are stored in a separate system that was not compromised. The attackers stole this data after compromising the Ribon application key. BigCommerce notified Master of Malt of the breach, which was promptly addressed by uninstalling the affected app and assuring no further customer data could be accessed.
Master of Malt urges customers to remain vigilant for phishing emails, spam, and scam phone calls potentially targeting them using the stolen data.
