"Hackers have exploited a vulnerability in the website for tech retailer Newegg.
Payment card data may have been skimmed in the same fashion as the British Airways and Ticketmaster data breaches."
We specialise in representing victims for data breach compensation claims.
Information on how we handle your data is available in our Privacy Policy.
Victims of the Newegg data breach in England and Wales can speak to our lawyers today for advice. This looks like another serious attack with an immediate risk of fraud for victims!
The breach period is 14 August 2018 to 18 September 2018. Anyone who used the Newegg payment process between these dates may have been affected.
News of the Newegg data breach was revealed when Newegg admitted that they'd identified malware that had been injected into one of their servers. This has led to skimming taking place during the payment processing stage of the website.
It has not yet been confirmed as to the extent of the data that has been compromised. However, the base code that was used in the Newegg data breach is the same as the one used in the British Airways data breach we're already representing victims for.
We can therefore expect that payment card data as well as personal information may have been compromised.
Security researches have suggested that these are the same hackers who were also behind the Ticketmaster data breach that we have been helping people with for months.
Victims of the Newegg data breach may be entitled to claim compensation. Newegg are said to be contacting people who they believe are affected by the breach, but numbers of victims are not yet known.
If you've been informed by Newegg that you are potentially affected, or if you made a payment during the breach period (14 August 2018 to 18 September 2018), please contact the team for further advice.
We're able to assist any victims who made purchases in England and Wales.
The site is incredibly popular with millions of visitors each month, so there could be many people in England and Wales who have been affected by the breach.
We're already fighting for justice for victims of the recent British Airways data breach and Ticketmaster data breach. The Newegg data breach appears to be the latest target of the hackers who have already managed to steal payment card data in other related hacks.
