Dymocks.com.au

In September 2023 the Australian bookstore chain Dymocks suffered a significant data breach when an unauthorized actor gained access to its customer database. The incident involved the exposure of sensitive customer information which was subsequently posted on a darknet forum. The breach was attributed to a compromise of a third party service provider. The leaked data included personal details of over 1.2 million loyalty program members. Dymocks notified customers and relevant authorities after discovering the unauthorized activity on their systems. The data was leaked in a readable format allowing for potential phishing and identity theft risks.
