Popular wrestling t-shirt site Pro Wrestling Tees has disclosed a data breach incident that has resulted in the compromise of the financial details of tens of thousands of its customers.
Pro Wrestling Tees is a website allowing professional wrestlers to set up their own mini-stores to sell merchandise like shirts, posters, action figures, and more to their fans.
In a data breach notification sent to affected individuals on December 15, 2021, Pro Wrestling Tees was informed by law enforcement on November 01, 2021, that a small portion of its customers' credit card numbers had been compromised.
"We immediately conducted an extensive investigation of our system and concluded that a malware virus was the source of breach," reads the Pro Wrestling Tees data breach notification.
The credit cards were stolen due to a malware infection that stole full names and credit card numbers along with the matching CVV codes.
