Miinto customer data accessed in security incident

Danish e-commerce company Miinto has confirmed that an unauthorized party gained access to its internal order management system, potentially exposing customer order data. The company is notifying affected customers about the incident, according to a recent report by The Register.

The breach, which Miinto reported to the police and data protection authorities, may have compromised customer names, email addresses, physical addresses, and phone numbers. While payment methods were also exposed, details such as card numbers or verification numbers were not accessed. The intruder may have retrieved order data, including personal information, from the compromised system. Miinto has stated that it has taken steps to contain the incident, remove the intruder from its systems, and enhance security measures, including access controls on its order management system.

The company warned customers about the potential for phishing attacks that could use the stolen information to appear more convincing. Miinto is investing in further security measures to prevent future incidents.
