Security News > 2024 > March > Vans claims cyber crooks didn't run off with its customers' financial info

In an email to customers, the Vans and North Face parent promised that crooks didn't swipe their credit card or bank account details.

"VF never collects or retains any detailed payment or financial information, such as bank account or credit card information, so no such information was exposed to the threat actors. Furthermore, no consumers' passwords were compromised. Please note that formal investigations by competent authorities are still ongoing. For this reason, we are unable to provide further details."

We now have a slightly better idea about what those miscreants got their hands on from the privacy breach notification emails alerting customers that "Some personal information," including email addresses, full names, phone numbers, billing addresses and shipping addresses, was accessed.

The Vans owner again denied that miscreants stole any bank account or credit card numbers because the company will "Never collect or retain in our IT systems any detailed payment/financial information."

There is no chance that any detailed financial information was exposed to the threat actors.

Regardless, it's perhaps a good idea to change your Vans password, and those for any other accounts that share the same login details.
