Fanatec Resets Customer Passwords After Hack
Return To ArticleAs Kotaku reports, Fanatec CEO Thomas Jackermeier sent out an email yesterday to all customers informing them that, “our online shop of our company was compromised by a cyber-attack on 16.08.2019.” The breach in security meant hackers gained access to the company’s customer database and therefore the personal details of all customers.
As a precaution, Fanatic has reset all customer account passwords and the relevant authorities informed of the breach. With the personal details already out in the wild, there’s little else that can be done other than trying to figure out who performed the hack and prosecuting them.
