The Most Devastating and Interesting Cyberattacks and Hacks of 2018

Saks Fifth Avenue and Lord & Taylor Stores Suffer Data Breach

Hackers have stolen the records of up to 5 million credit and debit cards, including at certain New York and New Jersey Saks Fifth Avenue, Saks Off 5th and Lord & Taylor stores, a cybersecurity firm said Sunday.

Hudson’s Bay Co., parent of the department stores, is investigating the situation, it said.

“Once we have more clarity around the facts, we will notify our customers quickly and will offer those impacted free identity protection services, including credit and web monitoring,” the company said in a statement shortly after the cybersecurity company Gemini Advisory made news of the hack public.
