Latest Data Hack Compromises Card Data of 5M Saks Fifth Avenue and Lord & Taylor Customers
Another data hack has occurred, this time compromising sensitive credit card data of more than five million customers who shopped at Saks Fifth Avenue and Lord & Taylor. According to Gemini Advisory, the cybersecurity research firm that identified the recent hack, the incident was orchestrated by a “well-known ring of Russian-speaking hackers known as Fin7 or JokerStash.” The research firm also said that the stolen information “appears to have been taken using software that was implanted into the cash register systems at the stores and that siphoned card numbers until last month.”
