Which Data Got Leaked?
The Verge also shared a redacted photo from the report. In the photo, you can see customers’ order records, email and mailing addresses, products ordered, and phone numbers.
Razer’s Response
In response, Razer said that the server mishap did happen. However, the company took three weeks before they admitted to it.
Razer also said that the leak included personal data like full names, phone numbers, and shipping addresses. However, the company said that the leak didn’t include payment information. They had also fixed the error on September 9.
Moreover, Razer said that affected consumers could reach out to the company at DPO@razer.com.
Just because your credit card info didn’t get leaked, it doesn’t mean that you’re 100% safe. Attackers can use your email address to start phishing. With your email address, they can get your account passwords or payment details.
