Bargain Bin Breach: Dollar Tree’s Pricey Data Disaster and the Coupon for Identity Protection
When the Dollar Tree Data Breach becomes a “discount drama”, nearly two million shoppers found their personal data taken for a wild ride. With birth dates and social security numbers missing, victims are left with a year of identity protection as a consolation prize. Meanwhile, legal firms are already sniffing for a class-action lawsuit.
Hot Take:
Oh, Dollar Tree, say it ain't so! It's not every day you see a discount retail giant getting a fancy supply-chain cyber makeover, courtesy of a data breach via their service provider, Zeroed-In Technologies. Nearly two million people had their personal data taken for a joy ride, including names, birthdays, and social security numbers. But hey, at least the victims get a year of identity protection and credit monitoring service, right? Silver linings and all that.Already a member? Log in here
