Hollywood coffee chain Hollys experienced a cyberattack that resulted in the leak of 2.76 million pieces of customer information, the company announced on Monday. This incident is the latest in a series of hacking attacks targeting local businesses. The stolen data included customers' dates of birth, phone numbers, addresses, and email addresses.
The breach was discovered between September 3 and October 7 when Hollys detected unauthorized access to its system. The company clarified that the leaked data comprised temporary files from a past membership service overhaul, rather than the current customer database. Hollys is still investigating the full extent of the incident.
The company expressed regret for causing customer concern and pledged to take all necessary measures to protect customer data and minimize the damage caused by the breach.
