Car mount and mobile accessory maker iOttie warns that its site was compromised for almost two months to steal online shoppers' credit cards and personal information.
In a new data breach notification issued yesterday, iOttie says they discovered on June 13th that its online store was compromised between April 12th, 2023, and June 2nd with malicious scripts.
"We believe criminal e-skimming occurred from April 12, 2023, through June 2, 2023. However, on June 2, 2023, during a WordPress/plugin update, the malicious code was removed," warns the iOttie data breach notification.
iOttie has not shared how many customers were impacted but said that names, personal information, and payment information could have been stolen, including financial account numbers, credit and debit card numbers, security codes, access codes, passwords, and PINs.
While iOttie has not shared how they were breached, their online store is a WordPress site with the WooCommerce merchant plugin.
As iOttie disclosed that the malicious code was removed with a plugin update, the hackers likely breached the site using a vulnerability in one of its WordPress plugins.
