Another day, another data breach.
Watch out for potential MyDeal scams.
Woolworths has reported a data breach impacting 2.2 million users of its MyDeal subsidiary.
The company said in a stock exchange filing that a compromised user credential was used to gain unauthorised access to MyDeal’s customer relationship management system.
The company is now contacting impacted users by email.
Compromised data includes customer names, email addresses, phone numbers, delivery addresses, and in some instances, customers’ date of birth, which was required for people who have purchased alcohol on the MyDeal site. For 1.2 million customers, only email addresses were accessed.
Woolworths said it does not store payment details, driver’s licence or passport details and no customer account passwords or payment details have been compromised.
Customers who are not contacted by MyDeal can be assured their data has not been accessed.
