HACKED! Bonobos

By Kevin Lancaster, IDAgent

Exploit: Hacking

Bonobos: Menswear Retailer 

Risk to Business: 1.979 = Severe

Men’s clothier Bonobos has experienced a huge 70GB data breach exposing millions of customers’ personal information after a cloud backup of their database was snatched. ShinyHunters, who had a very busy week, posted the full Bonobos database to a free hacker forum. ShinyHunters was kind enough to transform the stolen password data into a handy list for credential stuffing.

Individual Risk: 2.006 = Severe

The leaked data included customers’ addresses, phone numbers, partial credit card numbers (last four digits), order information and password histories. This information can be used in many cyberattacks including spear phishing and credential stuffing.

Customers Impacted: 7 million

How it Could Affect Your Business: Data theft is an increasingly worrisome problem for everyone. Not only is the original business impacted, the addition of such large troves of information to the Dark Web fuels further cybercrime.
