  "account": "BigCommerce notified its customers about a potential data breach on September 17, 2026, following a cyberattack that occurred from September 13 to 17, 2026. The attack targeted one of BigCommerce's third-party apps, Ribon, which is used by merchants to enhance their online stores. Master of Malt, an online spirits retailer, was one of the affected companies and reported that their customers' names, email addresses, phone numbers, and addresses were exposed due to the breach. BigCommerce confirmed that the compromised credentials belonged to Ribon and Ribon 1.5, and they revoked the attacker's access by uninstalling the affected apps from the impacted stores. The breach was contained to a \"small number of merchant storefronts,\" but Master of Malt stated that the attackers had access to the data of hundreds of BigCommerce stores. BigCommerce contacted all affected companies, and Master of Malt reported the incident to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). Law firm Emery Reddy warned other retailers using the BigCommerce platform to notify their customers about potential data exposure, and warned of the risk of phishing and scam attacks.",
