So when intruders broke into the retailer&#8217;s computers in June 2018, they would have been able to find full card details on nearly 30,000 orders in that file. Zoetop couldn&#8217;t say whether that log had been exfiltrated.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the crooks stole customer account records including names, cities, email addresses, and hashed passwords; the login information was later sold on an underworld cyber-crime forum.<\/p>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"adun\" data-pos=\"top\" data-raptor=\"falcon\" data-xsm=\",fluid,mpu,\" data-sm=\",fluid,mpu,\" data-md=\",fluid,mpu,\"> <noscript> <a href=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/jump?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/cybercrime&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=4&amp;c=44Y0vPsI8sH65PqNMgMawZ7wAAAMo&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D4%26raptor%3Dfalcon%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ad?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/cybercrime&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=4&amp;c=44Y0vPsI8sH65PqNMgMawZ7wAAAMo&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D426raptor%3Dfalcon%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" alt> <\/a> <\/noscript> <\/div>\n<p>And about those hashed passwords: &#8220;The method Zoetop had used to hash the passwords left them susceptible to password cracking attacks, through which attackers could identify the original, unhashed password,&#8221; the New York probe found.<\/p>\n<p>That means not only were the plain-text passwords pretty much obtainable, they would be paired with an email address and sold to other crooks, who could use the info to log into people&#8217;s accounts on other websites, if those users reused their passwords.

Instead, Zoetop only messaged a fraction of the compromised users, and claimed in a press release that 6.42 million customers who had placed online orders were affected.<\/p>\n<p>According to the New York investigation, Zoetop was fully aware of the scale of the Shein credential theft, at least.<\/p>\n<p>Then, in 2020, after discovering more customer data for sale on the dark web, Zoetop realized seven million Romwe accounts&#8217; usernames and passwords had also been exfiltrated in the 2018 theft.<\/p>\n<p>On top of this, according to the NY AG:<\/p>\n<p>In addition to paying $1.9 million to settle the case, Zoetop also agreed to improve its security program to include &#8220;robust&#8221; password hashing, network monitoring, vulnerability scanning, and incident response policies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Also, the retailer promised to conduct timely investigations and consumer notifications \u2014&nbsp;along with password resets \u2014 if (or when) it suffers another network breach. \u00ae<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a href=\"https:\/\/go.theregister.com\/feed\/www.theregister.com\/2022\/10\/14\/zoetop_data_breach_fine\/\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That&#8217;s roughly 300,000 Shein crop tops Online retailer Zoetop will fork out $1.9 million after account data belonging to 46 million customers was stolen in 2018.\u2026 READ MORE HERE&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-register"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Store credit card numbers in a debug log, lose millions of accounts.
