14 DAY TRIAL // ClamCase, a maker of keyboards and protective cases for iPads, started to notify its customers that unidentified intruders gained access to personal information about them, as well as payment details.
The company said that it was not alerted by law enforcement about the intrusion, and a database on the website seems to have been targeted, which suggests that the attack was conducted through a different type of threat than the now infamous Backoff PoS malware.
The hackers managed to gain access to the ClamCase website and obtain purchase-related information, which includes names, addresses and credit card details.
It appears that the intrusion occurred between April 15 and August 6, 2014. ClamCase did not make any statement as far as the number of affected customers is concerned.
The company managed to eliminate the malicious items from the systems, and purchases should be made securely at the moment.
“We are diligently working with third party experts and appropriate law enforcement agencies to address the matter. No law enforcement investigation delayed notifying you of this matter,” the letter to the customers says.
In order to protect the affected individuals from identity theft incidents, the company offers complimentary risk mitigation services; these include identity theft insurance, as well as consultation and restoration. Customers receiving the alert have to activate the security measures themselves.
