The frozen food company Picard announced to 45,000 customers of its loyalty program that they had been the victim of a data leak, reports in particular The Digital Factory.
Picard detected “unauthorized access” by a third party, without intrusion into its information systems, as specified to its customers by email.
The hackers were able to access the names, first names, date of birth, email address, postal address, telephone number, loyalty card number, reduction vouchers/possible advantages, order history, receipts as well as the list of purchases and product favorites, list The Parisian. Banking information “are not compromised”specifies the brand.
