Malicious hackers stole an undetermined number of customer information from another company’s database. Arc Worldwide, a company hired by McDonalds to send promotional email messages, was hacked and McDonald’s customer data including names, phone numbers, postal addresses, and e-mail addresses were accessed. The data does not include Social Security Numbers, credit card numbers, or any financial information. McDonalds’ customers who had information in this database have been contacted and advised not to respond to anyone claiming to be from McDonald’s and asking for personal or financial information.
Do you entrust a business partner with any confidential information? Do you know if they have the proper processes in place to prevent a leak? What about your own information, is it secure? Contact Attevo about a risk assessment. It could mean the difference between safe data and a data breach.
