The popular PC storage manufacturer, Western Digital, has confirmed that it experienced a network security breach earlier this year, in which an unauthorized third party gained control of several of its systems.
The bad actors in charge of the breach were able to get access to a copy of a database used to operate the Western Digital online store. Information from this database includes “personal customer information, such as names, billing and shipping addresses, email addresses, and telephone numbers,” as well as “Encrypted hashed and salted passwords and partial credit card numbers,” the company noted.
