In the latest data disaster for yet another Dutch company, Rituals user information, including email addresses, phone numbers, names, and more, has been stolen.
As reported by AD, the company released information about the incident on Wednesday, though the exact number of customers impacted remains unclear.
For an internationally established business (spanning 33 countries), the scale of the leak could be substantial.
Who is affected?
Rituals has confirmed that the affected customer data originates in Europe and the UK, AD says.
According to the Rituals website, “the situation is now contained,” and the company has taken measures to further protect user details.
They also confirm that passwords and payment details were not leaked.
In the meantime, customers are being warned to look out for phishing emails, calls, or text messages, and to remain “extra vigilant,” reports NOS.
Add it to the list…
Rituals is just the latest company to be hit with a data breach: from Odido to Booking.com and BasicFit, these thefts appear to be commonplace nowadays.
The worst of these incidents, the Odido breach, has led to the release of over six million Dutch people’s personal information to the darkest corner of the web.
While cybercriminals may seem like they’re on a rampage, there’s no evidence that these attacks are connected, reports NOS.
For now, the only thing these breaches have in common is that your data keeps ending up somewhere it shouldn’t.
