Data breaches are on the rise. Since January 2017, at
least 16 retailers were hacked and likely had information
stolen from them.
A report from cybersecurity firm Shape Security showed
that almost 90% of the login attempts made on online retailers'
websites are hackers using stolen data.
Many of these breaches were caused by flaws in payment
systems that were taken advantage of by hackers.
At least 16 separate security breaches occurred at retailers from
January 2017 until now. Many of them were caused by flaws in
payment systems, either online or in stores.
Data
breaches are on the rise for both retailers and other
businesses.
A recent report published by cybersecurity firm
Shape Security showed that 80% to 90% of the people that log
in to a retailer's e-commerce site are hackers using stolen data.
This is the highest percentage of any sector.
These data breaches are a real danger for both companies and
customers and can affect the trust shoppers have in brands.
According to a study by KPMG, 19% of consumers would completely
stop shopping at a retailer after a breach, and 33% would take a
break from shopping there for an extended period.
Here are 16 retailers that have been affected by data breaches
since January 2017:
Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen
Darden Restaurants
announced on Wednesday it was notified by government
officials on August 16 that it had been the victim of a
cyberattack.
Customers who visited Darden-owned Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen
between November 3, 2017 and January 2, 2018 may have had their
credit-card information stolen. Darden estimates that
567,000 payment card numbers could have been compromised.
Customers affected would have visited a Cheddar's location in any
one of these states: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware,
Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland,
Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio,
Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and
Wisconsin.
Macy's did not confirm exactly how many people were impacted.
However, a spokesperson for the company said the breach was
limited to a small group of people.
Macy's said in a statement: "We have investigated the matter
thoroughly, addressed the cause and, as a precaution, have
implemented additional security measures. Macy's, Inc. will
provide consumer protection services at no cost to those
customers. We have contacted potentially impacted customers with
more information about these services."

Adidas
Adidas announced in June that an "unauthorized party" said it
had gained access to customer data on Adidas' US website.
Currently, the company believes only customers who shopped on and
purchased items from the US version of Adidas.com may have been
affected by the breach.
The data that is potentially at risk includes customer contact
information, like email addresses and physical addresses, as well
as login information, like usernames and passwords. The passwords
were stored with an encryption, however, which would need to be
unencrypted before they could be used.
Adidas did not say exactly how many customers could have been
affected by the breach, but an Adidas spokeswoman confirmed it is
likely "a few million."
Sears
Sears alerted customers on April 4 of a "security incident"
with an online support partner [24]7.ai that may
have resulted in up to 100,000 people having their credit-card
information stolen.
The incident affected shoppers who bought items online from
September 27, 2017 to October 12, 2017

Kmart
Kmart, which is owned by Sears Holdings, was also affected by the
breach, the company reported on April 4.
The airline said customer payment information may have been
vulnerable but did not estimate how many of its customers were
affected.

Best Buy
Best Buy was also affected by the breach of [24]7.ai,
it told customers on April 5.
The retailer said only " a small fraction of our
overall online customer population" was affected in the breach,
which might have jeopardized payment information.
Saks Fifth Avenue
Hudson's Bay, the parent company of Saks Fifth Ave,
confirmed in April that a data breach compromised payment
systems and therefore customers' credit and debit cards.
Estimates of the amount of affected customers have not yet been
released, but could number in the millions. Online customers were
not affected.

Lord & Taylor
Hudson's Bay also owns Lord & Taylor, and those stores were
also affected by the breach.
Under Armour's MyFitnessPal app
While Under Armour's store systems or online store weren't
affected, the retailer
confirmed in March that data from its MyFitnessPal app was
accessed by an "unauthorized party."
Payment information was not released, but Under Armour says user
names, emails, and encrypted passwords were affected. More than
150 million people's information was likely compromised.

At the time, it said personal information, including names,
addresses, and partial credit card numbers may have leaked,
though the company says the investigation is ongoing.
A flaw in the store's cashier terminals may have inadvertently
exposed data like credit card numbers, expiration dates, and
internal verification codes to hackers. Customers who shopped in
stores from March through October 2017 are vulnerable.

A flaw in the point-of-sale system used by the chain's
taprooms and table-service restaurants was affected, but not the
system the grocery store itself uses.

Malware in the chain's cashier systems between October 25, 2016
and January 19, 2017 allowed the unauthorized access.
