Here’s what you need to know about the Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s breach

Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s (both owned by parent company Macy’s, Inc.) recently sent letters to some of their online customers confirming the retailer had discovered a cybersecurity threat to its systems on June 11, 2018.
According to the letters, “an unauthorized third party, from April 26, 2018, through June 12, 2018, used valid customer usernames and passwords to log in to customer online profiles.”
Hackers were able to access users’ first and last names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, birth dates, and debit and credit card numbers with expiration dates, Macy’s said.
