Kehoe Law Firm, P.C. is making consumers aware that in a “Notification of Data Breach” submitted by J.Crew Group, Inc. to the California Attorney General, J.Crew Group advised “. . . about a security issue related to . . . www.jcrew.com customer account[s].”
According to the “Notification of Data Breach,” “[t]hrough routine and proactive web scanning, [J.Crew Group] recently discovered information related to [one’s] jcrew.com account. Based on [J. Crew Group’s] review, [J.Crew Group] believe[s] [one’s] email address (used as [one’s] jcrew.com username) and password were obtained by an unauthorized party and in or around April 2019 used to log into [one’s] jcrew.com account.”
Further, according to the data breach notification, “[t]he information that would have been accessible in [one’s] jcrew.com account includes the last four digits of credit card numbers [one has] stored in [one’s] account, the expiration dates, card types, and billing addresses connected to those cards, and order numbers, shipping confirmation numbers, and shipment status of those orders.” [Emphasis added.]
Fastcompany.com reported (“If you shop at J.Crew, your sensitive personal info may have been stolen“) that “[i]t’s not clear why it took the American clothing brand nearly a year to disclose the hack.”
