Dear [Redacted],
We are writing to inform you of an incident that may have involved some of your information. We are providing this notice to explain the incident and measures we have taken, and also to provide some steps you can take in response.
What Happened?
On March 29, 2022, we received reports of unauthorized payment card activity involving customers who had recently made a purchase on our website at [Redacted]. Upon discovery, we immediately began an investigation and review of our website, but did not find any evidence of unauthorized access to our systems. On April 26, 2022, a forensic analysis from an outside cyber security company identified hidden malicious code designed to capture information entered into our website, including payment card information.
What Information Was Involved?
The investigation determined that an unauthorized party may have accessed payment card information entered onto our website between November 12, 2021 and April 26, 2022. We reviewed the transactions from our website and determined on May 31, 2022 that you made one or more purchases on the site during that time period. The information that was accessible includes your name and your credit or debit card number(s) ending in xxxx .
What Are We Doing?
In response to the incident we have taken steps to help prevent a similar incident in the future including updating user passwords and implementing additional security safeguards and controls on our website.
What You Can Do.
We remind you to remain vigilant to the possibility of fraud by reviewing your payment card statements for any unauthorized charges. You should immediately report any unauthorized charges to your card issuer because payment card network rules generally provide that cardholders are not responsible for unauthorized charges reported in a timely manner. The phone number to call is usually on the back of your payment card. Please see the pages that follow this notice for additional steps you may take.
For More Information.
If you have any questions, please call (800)-220-7020, Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time.
