Customer data from Topgeschenken and Topbloemen stolen in cyberattack

Customer data from Topgeschenken and Topbloemen stolen in cyberattack

The companies Topgeschenken and Topbloemen suffered a data breach after unauthorized access to their IT systems was detected on November 5. Personal information including names, addresses, and birth dates was stolen, though no financial data was compromised.

The companies Topgeschenken and Topbloemen recently confirmed that unauthorized parties gained access to their IT systems on November 5. Preliminary investigations indicate that hackers successfully copied and exported various personal data, including names, addresses, genders, and birth dates of both customers and gift recipients. The company has clarified that no financial information was stolen, as their websites do not store payment details like credit card numbers or IBANs. In response to the breach, the companies proactively took their systems offline to secure their network, which has caused delays in customer service response times. While existing orders will be delivered as scheduled, the ability for customers to place new orders, modify them, or cancel existing ones is currently severely limited or impossible. The company is actively working to identify exactly which individuals and organizations have been affected by this incident. Affected parties will be notified once the ongoing investigation provides further clarity regarding the extent of the data theft.
