TJX Effects: Forever 21 Payment Card Breach
It has recently been discovered that the people behind the largest security breach in history, TJX, a heist affecting 46.5 million cards, have also breached US retailer Forever 21, lifting about 99,000 debit and credit cards.
As the Register reported, Forever 21 discolesed the breach on their site, letting everyone know they found out about the heist about a month ago from law enforcement officers. There where 9 specific dates when the payment card system was breached, spread from March 2004 to August 2007. The breach exposed card numbers and expiration dates, along with other details stored but not disclosed by Forever 21.
If you’re looking for the Forever 21 official statement, read the explanation on how to get to it on the Register, apparently it cannot be linked to… So much for transparency and caring more about your customers finding out and being protected than your image, which will be affected anyway…
