Neiman Marcus, the Texas-based luxury department stores chain, is sending notices of a data breach to roughly 4.3 million customers.
According to the letter, which has been shared with Maine's Attorney General's office, the data breach unfolded back in May 2020 when a cyber-intruder gained access to a large number of online account credentials and used them to access private customer information.
The retail out states that no CVV numbers were stored in Neiman Marcus' systems, making it harder to use the stolen payment card details.
Over 85% of the 3.1 million virtual gift cards that have been compromised were already invalidated or expired.
Neiman Marcus forced a reset on the affected customers' online accounts, and recipients will have to set up a new password to access their accounts.
You should only set up a new password directly through the Neiman Marcus portal and not click on any links sent via email urging you to reset your credentials.
