The Good Guys Says the Bad Guys Hacked Its Old Rewards System
“My Rewards also held the encrypted password (and, if you provided it to My Rewards, your date of birth) for those Concierge members who set up a My Rewards account,” the statement continues.
The Good Guys said My Rewards confirmed that no personal identity documents or financial information such as driver’s licence, passport or credit card data is involved in the breach.
The Good Guys said the nature of the specific information involved for each individual affected by the data breach will be communicated by the company directly to the customer. The Good Guys began contacting customers on Thursday.
While the explicit details of what happened are unclear at this stage, in announcing the data breach, The Good Guys said the My Rewards IT systems had been improperly accessed by an unauthorised user and that its own IT systems were not involved in the incident. It’s understood My Rewards is working with the Australian Federal Police in relation to the breach and that the breach likely occurred back in August 2021.
“The Good Guys is extremely disappointed that My Rewards, a former services provider, has experienced this breach and we apologise for any concern that this may cause,” the company said.The post The Good Guys Says the Bad Guys Hacked Its Old Rewards System appeared first on Gizmodo Australia.
