Newegg Data Breach Compensation Action

About The Newegg Data Breach

The Newegg data breach came to light when Newegg confirmed that they had discovered that one of their servers had been injected with malware. The discovery was made on 18 September 2018, and the malware appears to have been active since 14 August 2018.

Security researchers believe that the hackers are the same ones who successfully hit British Airways and Ticketmaster. The base code used in the Newegg data breach was the same as the one used in the British Airways breach, and it's thought that the hackers exploited a vulnerability in the website to inject the malware into the server.

With the malicious code injected, payment data appears to have been skimmed from Newegg for over a month.

Newegg say they are contacting customers who have been affected, and an FAQ is expected to be released soon. The company is reportedly worth billions, and their monthly traffic is said to be in the millions, so a large volume of people may have been affected by this breach.
