3.1M Neiman Marcus Customer Card Details Breached

2021-10-01 17:50

Just this week, Neiman Marcus acknowledged the compromise, which included personal customer information like names, contact information, payment card information, gift card numbers, usernames, passwords and even security questions associated with online Neiman Marcus accounts.

In total, Neiman Marcus, which also controls the brands Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus Last Call and Horchow, said 3.1 million cards were affected.

Neiman Marcus is working with law enforcement and cybersecurity company Mandiant to get more information about the retailer's compromise, the company said.

"At Neiman Marcus Group, customers are our top priority," Geoffroy van Raemdonck, the company's CEO, said in the announcement of the breach.

Security experts say it's too late for Neiman Marcus to protect its customers and that the delay in detection of the unauthorized access makes the situation more dire.

"As retailers like Neiman Marcus adapt to a more virtual world and embrace innovations to support remote shopping we should expect attacks on the industry to increase. These innovations open more avenues for attackers to poke to access the private data of consumers. Businesses have a responsibility to ensure their consumers' personal data is protected with the best defensive technology available to them."
