Isenkramkæden Bahne is for the second time in 37 days been exposed to hacker attacks on its website.
And for the second time is completely innocent Bahn customers have been exposed, to their hotels – typically credit card transactions are by card numbers – has been leaked.
First, it happened for good 3300 customers at the end of november. And over the new year have unknown hackers that has been on a visit in the shop again, where the yield has been information from 473 customers further.
It informs the executive director in Bahne, Benjamin Røpke, to Ekstra Bladet.
But 16 of the web shop customers is it extra bad.
– 16 customers now need to switch the debit for a second time. They are recidivists, says Benjamin Røpke.
so far it very little, as Bahne on the whole, know about the hacker attack. Two it security companies are hired first and foremost to try to find out how the unknown hackers has obtained access to highly confidential information.
Røpke says that it is not at all certain that they find the answer. But that’s set a deadline until the middle of next week. Until then and perhaps for a longer time will the store not be available.
– of course It is a disaster, that it can be done two times in a short time. But we simply will not have this happen again. It is expensive for the phd scholarship with the bad pr and the insecurity that people may get by shopping on our website. Therefore I will be 100 percent sure that our security is in the top, before we open the website again, says Benjamin Røpke.
Friday, Bahne chosen to politianmelde hacker attack, which is supposed to have happened 29. december of the night. Until 2. January in the middle of the day it is the suspicion that the hackers have had free access to aflure all payment transactions made in the period.
Bahne has been in dialogue with all of the 473 customers. It is the perception that no one has had their information abused. But the risk is there.
There is also a risk that the information can be sold on. Therefore, everyone is encouraged to block your debit and order a new one.
And for the 16 of the total of nearly 4000, which is affected in the first or second hacker attack, is the situation so extra special.
– Hopefully get it not greater impact, than that they should once again have a new credit card, explains Benjamin Røpke.
Røpke says that most of those affected have expressed understanding and is grateful for the phd scholarship has approached them.
– But there is also someone who is pissesure, and we can easily understand, says Benjamin Røpke.
It is not yet decided whether they hit the Bahne-customers must have one or other form of compensation, says Benjamin Røpke.
– In the first instance, our focus has been to stop the damage, says the managing director.
He stresses that no one who acted in one of Bahnes 20 physical stores nationwide, has been stolen their information.
