Popular Post rooster59 Posted November 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2020 Data breach: Not our fault say Lazada Image: Sanook Online retailer Lazada has denied that it was behind a data breach. An underground trading forum was found to be offering data for sale from perhaps up to 13 million customers including names,email addresses and phone numbers. It was claimed that the seller of the data was working in Lazada's Thai office, something the company has denied. The data was two years old related to 2018. Digital Economy and Society minister Buddhipongse Punnakanta is due to be meeting e-commerce operators in the coming week to discuss ways to improve data protection.

Popular Post AhFarangJa Posted November 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 22, 2020 Luckily I only pay cash on delivery so they do not have any card details. Will still change my password though to be safe. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Carlosm Posted November 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 22, 2020 I've been with Lazada for a long time now and over the past few years since i changed my bank account have only used C.O.D., 2 reasons, 1. safer if my acc gets hacked, and, 2. delivery is way faster as they want their money and dont get it till its arrived. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreasyFingers Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Maybe this explains why I get the occasional SMS from unknown companies giving me a web link. As I do not have internet on my phone it is not really a problem as I cannot reply. No contact through my email though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC details are not kept in plain data, in some database. So that wouldn't be a threat anyway. It is like 9/10 more likely to get your CC details stolen while traveling, in hotels and such. That is also how all passport copies end up in the dark web. Quite easy money for a person working at the lobby, underpaid, seeing tens of passports daily (which they usually scan).

jchfriis Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Lazada system is <deleted>. I'm trying to log in to my account and the site wants to verify my identity which is fine with me. To do that they send me a code by e-mail. But by the time the e-mail arrives the code is unusable because the system only gives you one minute! Now who in their right mind designs it like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techietraveller84 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Apparently Shopee and Line were affected as well. "Lazada said that it was not the only company affected by the hack and said that Line and Shopee were implicated as well." Bad day for data security. https://www.thaienquirer.com/20953/lazada-suffers-data-hack-of-13-million-accounts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
