Data Breach Alert: Web services provider hacked, 573,000 accounts compromised

Posted by Caitlin on July 27th, 2009

Network Solutions provides website hosting and payment processing services to online merchants. On Friday, the company announced a data breach that puts more than 573,000 customers at risk of identity theft. The breach was caused by hackers, who broke into the company's servers and installed malicious code that allowed them to intercept personal and financial information whenever customers made purchases at online stores hosted by Network Solutions. The stolen payment data includes transactions made between March 12 and June 8. Network Solutions has begun notifying the impacted merchants, and has offered to help notify impacted customers as well. Network Solutions spokesperson Susan Wade stated, "We feel terribly about it, to burden them with the notification process, which can be kind of tricky because there is no one federal data breach statute." The company is offering to pay for one year of TransUnion credit monitoring for any consumer whose financial data was compromised.
