French retail giant Auchan has disclosed a cyberattack that resulted in the theft of personal data from hundreds of thousands of its customers. The breach specifically targeted the data linked to the retailer's Waaoh loyalty cards, leading to the deactivation of these cards as a precautionary measure. Stolen information includes names, phone numbers, and other personal details, raising concerns about potential phishing campaigns targeting affected customers. This incident adds to a series of recent data breaches reported globally, including a notable breach at Farmers Insurance in the United States, where over 1.1 million customers had sensitive information such as names and Social Security numbers compromised due to a third-party hack. Auchan’s breach highlights ongoing cybersecurity challenges faced by large corporations in protecting customer data.
