Breach

Domino's Pizza Australia has disclosed that a data breach at one of its third-party suppliers may have resulted in a spam campaign aimed at customers of the restaurant and food delivery chain.

The online image sharing website We Heart It told its members late last week that more than 8 million of its accounts were compromised in a data breach that took place four years ago.

The database was populated with information on critical flaws, many of those unfixed, in the company's software that were of great value to hackers.

Any way you slice it, it's not great news for Pizza Hut customers who learned on Saturday that their personal data was stolen during an Oct. 1-2 breach of the Italian food chain's website.

ShopRite supermarket customers who patronized the chain's store in Kingston, N.Y. may have had their payment card and some health information compromised when the store improperly discarded an electronic signature device used in the store's pharmacy.

In the aftermath of a massive breach at Equifax that exposed the data of 145.5 million American consumers, an independent security researcher reported the possibility of a second incident, prompting the company to takedown a webpage.

Security Analyst Randy Abrams discovered evidence of a second breach, just a month after the company said the data on 145.5 million U.S. consumers had been exposed when attackers exploited a vulnerability in Apache Struts.
