Credit card information was been stolen in a data breach from some Saks stores in North America.
A Saks Fifth Avenue data breach targeting customers’ credit card was confirmed Sunday (April 1) by the business’ parent company, the Hudson’s Bay Company.
According to an HBC news release, credit card data has been compromised from some North American Saks Fifth Avenue, Saks Off 5th and Lord & Taylor stores.
The investigation is ongoing, HBC said, but stated there were no indications the breach affected the company’s digital platforms — Hudson’s Bay, Home Outfitters or HBC Europe.
According to the news release, HBC “deeply regrets any inconvenience or concern,” and said customers will not be held liable for any fraudulent charges in connection to the breach.
HBC said the issue has been identified and contained, and the company will update costumers when more information is available. In the meantime, HBC is offering affected customers free identity protection services.
More details can be found on Saks’ website.
