Menswear brand Bonobos has started informing customers of a data breach that may have resulted in their personal information getting compromised.
Over the weekend, the company started informing users of a data breach that may have resulted in their personal information being stolen.
"We believe an unauthorized third party may have been able to view some of your account details, including your contact information and encrypted password. Your encrypted password was protected so your actual password was not visible," the data breach notification sent to users reads.
Bonobos has decided to reset users' passwords; they have been logged out of their accounts and they will have to set up a new password the next time they try to log in.
While the stolen passwords were hashed, it appears that at least one hacker was able to crack some of the passwords.
Updated with response from Bonobos and clarifications that the incident impacted 7 million addresses, not 7 million users.
