Australian consumer electronics and computing store digiDirect has experienced a data breach. The purported data breach affects 304,000 customers.
The leaked customer data includes names, emails, phone numbers, billing and shipping addresses, street addresses, country, state, province, zip code, billing names, contact numbers, date and AIPP-verified status. It is unclear if the credit card data or financial data is included in the data breach.
The data breach notification was first reported on Breach Forums. A user ‘Tanaka’ confirmed that the database of digiDirect was compromised and exfiltrated. It contained customer information of 304,000 digiDirect customers.
digiDirect has not confirmed the data breach yet. On a similar note, there is no confirmation of the data breach by any regulatory authority in Australia. However, we have confirmed that the website of digiDirect is online and working seamlessly.
As a matter of abundant caution, customers of digiDirect need to be wary of attempted abuse of customer information or financial information of customers.
