Shisha-net.de

In early 2021 the German hookah and tobacco retail website Shisha-net.de suffered a data breach. An unauthorized party gained access to the store database resulting in the exposure of personal information for approximately 50000 customers. The incident involved the extraction of sensitive user details including email addresses and full names. Additionally account security was compromised as passwords stored using the bcrypt hashing algorithm were leaked. This breach highlights the risks associated with specialized niche ecommerce platforms and the importance of robust database security measures against SQL injection or similar web vulnerabilities.
