The incident, which took place on May 24, saw the personal information of close to 42,000 customers compromised.

However, the brand’s personal information from November 2022 has not been risked, says the group.

“We took immediate steps to mitigate any further illegal access by suspending our e-commerce website, securing our systems, and working with cyber security experts and relevant authorities. Our top priority is to protect the data of our customers and prevent any further unauthorised access,” says Goldheart.

According to the group, the unauthorised access was limited to customers’ names, addresses, email addresses, dates of birth and phone numbers.

The Personal Data Protection Commissioner and the police have been notified, along with all of the customers who were affected.

No other data, including financial data such as credit card information or passwords, have been compromised.

“Due to the nature of the compromised data, we believe there is limited risk of fraudulent activity for those affected. That said, we have asked all affected customers to take all necessary precautions, including ensuring that emails received are from legitimate senders and to review email links carefully,” says Goldheart.
