Customers of Australian domain name reseller Netfleet may have had their personal details and encrypted credit cards compromised after hackers infiltrated the resellerâs database, CRN reported.
According to the report, Netfleet said hackers may have stolen customers’ name, email and street addresses, phone numbers and encrypted credit card numbers with expiry dates.
“Whilst we believe no sensitive data such as credit card information was accessed by the intruder, there is a possibility that this is indeed the case and as such we felt it our duty to inform you,â the company wrote in an email to customers today. “Since learning of the intrusion, we have taken the affected systems offline and are taking steps to address the vulnerability that led to this incident.â
“I would like to stress that we are erring on the side of caution and, there is no need to be unduly alarmed as it is in fact only a very remote possibility that your details have been accessed.”
The company is cooperating with the Australian Federal Police and the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) Australia and has now enhanced security on their website, resetting all client passwords and changed the login procedures.
