Hot Take:

Looks like the only thing ZAGG couldn’t shield with its fancy screen protectors was its customers’ credit card data! In a plot twist worthy of a cyber-thriller, the villain here is a sneaky app called FreshClick that managed to inject chaos right into the checkout process. Guess you could say the hackers were “charged” with a shopping spree of their own!

Key Points:

  • ZAGG Inc.’s customer credit card data was exposed due to a breach of the FreshClicks app.
  • The breach affected transactions on zagg.com from October 26 to November 7, 2024.
  • BigCommerce, the e-commerce provider, was not directly breached but immediately removed the compromised app.
  • ZAGG is offering affected customers a 12-month credit monitoring service.
  • The number of impacted customers remains undisclosed.
