Seiko USA website defaced, customer data breach claimed

According to Bleeping Computer, the Seiko USA website experienced a defacement over the weekend, with attackers claiming to have stolen its Shopify customer database and threatening to leak the information unless a ransom is paid. Visitors to the "Press Lounge" section encountered a "HACKED" page displaying the ransom demand.

The attackers asserted they breached Seiko USA's Shopify backend, exfiltrating sensitive customer data including names, email addresses, phone numbers, order history, shipping addresses, and account details. A specific customer account ID, 8069776801871, was cited as the method to initiate contact for ransom negotiations, with a 72-hour deadline issued.

Bleeping Computer has not yet confirmed the legitimacy of the claims or identified the threat actors. Seiko USA has since removed the defacement message from its website but has not issued a public statement.
