101Domain.com, a website that offers domain registration services and that currently handles close to 10,000 domains, suffered a data breach as a result of which some of their customers’ bank account information may have been exposed.

According to TheDomains, 101Domain issued a warning to all their clients, advising them to closely monitor their credit card statements to avoid any unfortunate situations.

“We were recently informed by one of our vendors that some of its systems, and those of a few of its customers, including 101domain.com, were compromised to varying degrees by a phishing attack,” the company wrote in a letter to their subscribers.

“Although there is no direct evidence that your information was stolen and we have received no customer complaints, this attack may have resulted in unauthorized access to your personal information and possibly your payment information.”

In addition to the advice they’re giving customers on how to secure their bank accounts, the company is also offering them free security services “to provide additional levels of protection.”
