Japanese retailer Iris Ohyama has taken its online store offline after attackers gained unauthorised access to a cloud environment holding data on about 7.7 million customers and other people, The Register reports. The company says it has not established whether any records were taken, and orders are delayed while the store remains down.
Why it mattersThe potentially exposed details include names, contact information, dates of birth and passwords. Iris Ohyama says payment information was not stored in the affected environment. Anyone who reused an Iris Plaza password elsewhere should change it, and keep an eye out for phishing messages.
Discuss: When a breach exposes data for millions but the company cannot yet say whether it was taken, what should it have to disclose before its service reopens?
