Eggfree Cake Box has disclosed a data breach after threat actors hacked their website to stole credit card numbers.
Cake Box is a UK chain of stores selling fresh cream celebration cakes made without eggs.
In emails sent to customers this week, Cake Box disclosed that their website was hacked in 2020 to include malicious scripts that stole customer information, including credit cards, submitted to the site.
Cake Box learned of the breach on April 27th, 2020, when they were contacted by their then-payment processing provider, Global Payments, who warned them that the site was breached.
"We immediately launched a thorough investigation of our systems in response and, with the help of experienced third-party security specialists, determined that an unauthorised third party had indeed recently gained access to the Cake Box website and placed certain malware on it", disclosed Cake Box in a data breach notification sent to customers.
If you are a Cake Box customer and have received notifications about the data breach, you should analyze your current and past transactions and make sure no fraudulent charges are present.
