Fashion Fiasco: Chanel & Pandora Hit by Customer Data Breaches – Is Your Info at Risk?
Chanel and Pandora’s recent data breaches highlight the dangers of third-party platforms. The culprits? Allegedly, the ShinyHunters group, who seem to love Salesforce credentials more than a hacker loves a free Wi-Fi network. Meanwhile, customers are left with the lingering question: “How did my birthdate become the hottest commodity in cyberspace?”
Hot Take:
