Neiman Marcus Group announced on Thursday that an unauthorized party has gained access to approximately 4.6 million customer accounts.
In May 2020, a third party obtained the personal information of certain Neiman Marcus customers. The data includes:
The unauthorized party, however, didn’t manage to get CVV numbers and PINs.
According to the official statement, around 3.1 million payment and virtual gift cards were impacted. Fortunately, most of them were either invalid or expired. Neiman Marcus-branded credit cards were also not affected.
It is, however, still unclear whether Bergdorf Goodman or Horchow user accounts have been breached.
The company announced that it’s working with Mandiant, a leading cybersecurity expert, to resolve the issue. It has also notified law enforcement.
"We are working hard to support our customers and answer questions about their online accounts. We will continue to take actions to enhance our system security and safeguard information,” said Chief Executive Officer Geoffroy van Raemdonck.
Furthermore, NMG is urging the affected customers to reset their passwords, in case they haven’t changed them since the time of the attack.
The company also has a call center which users can contact from Monday to Sunday. In addition, it has set up a webpage with more information on the topic.
Users are advised to invest in an ID theft protection service to avoid data breaches in the future.

(We all disagree – she influences the team pretty well.) She finished a master’s degree focused in Literature, Publishing, Mass Media. Her hobbies include traveling, and reading. Teddy hopes that yoga will be the thing to finally teach her some patience and show her the path toward world domination. Maybe modern tech can also help her with that.
