Maybe check your credit rating, says red-faced firm
T-shirt flogger CafePress has finally informed its customers about a serious data loss dating back to February and first reported last month.
Several CafePress punters told us they had received an email this morning warning them the company had lost customer names, emails, physical addresses, phone numbers and unencrypted passwords. Some customers have also had the last four numbers of payment cards and expiry dates nabbed by hackers.
The email, addressed to "Dear Valued Customer", says that the incident happened "on or about February 19". But fear not: "We have been diligently investigating this incident with the assistance of outside experts."
The email claims that CafePress "recently discovered" the security hole. But in early August, the company ran a mass-password reset following reports that some 23 million user details were floating around on hacker forums.
