Popular Pharmacy Customer Data Leaked. They Have Your Address and Phone Number
Popular online pharmacy Nowa Farmacja has reported that its customers’ data has been leaked. At the same time, it warns that it may be used for further frauds.
If you have ever used the online pharmacy Nowa Farmacja (also via Allegro) or the zielnik.pl website, your data may have just fallen into the hands of cybercriminals. There has been a major leak of customer data. Fortunately, this does not apply to people who used the company’s stationary branches.
Data leak of the Nowa Farmacja pharmacy
we inform you that on 21-24.07.2024 there was a breach of confidentiality of some personal data contained in the databases of stores run by the AP company, operated by the external company Atomstore. We emphasize that this applies only to customers of the platforms: nowafarmacja.pl, zielnik.pl and sales conducted via the Allegro platform. This does not apply to customers and patients of stationary pharmacies of the Nowa Farmacja Group.
– informs the online pharmacy.
What data fell into the hands of cybercriminals? Among others: name, surname, shipping address, e-mail address, telephone number, IP address, and list of purchased items. The pharmacy assures that the list does not include sensitive data, such as a PESEL number or medical data, because they do not store them.
This does not change the fact that the telephone number, home address or e-mail address may be used by fraudsters for further fraud attempts, e.g. by means of fake SMS messages.. Therefore, customers should be on their guard. Nowa Farmacja has sent relevant information to all those affected by the problem.
There is a risk that this also applies to your data. The situation has been identified, and the processor on whose servers the Store is located has implemented security measures and actions that prevent the attack from continuing and minimize its negative effects. In addition, the Store immediately conducted an incident risk analysis in accordance with the recommendations of ENISA (European Union Agency for Network and Information Security).
– adds New Pharmacy.
In addition, the pharmacy has decided to reset all passwords. When trying to log in again, customers will be asked to set a new one.
